Happy Friday!
Hello again, happy Friday. As we begin to wind down for the weekend here in Belfast, we have some exciting news to share with you all!
puppet-lint-stdlib_deprecations
This week, we released a brand new puppet-lint plugin. We heard from alot of you that one of the mostly painful tasks in the process of upgrading to Puppet 8, was the upgrade to puppetlabs/stdlib v9.0.0. With the release of puppetlabs/stdlib v9 came Puppet 8 support, but also the removal and namespacing of numerous functions and Dataypes. With this new plugin, puppet-lint-stdlib_deprecations puppet-lint-stdlib_deprecations, we aim to ease this transition, by scanning your puppet code for traces of any removed or namespaced functions and any Stdlib::Compat Datatypes.
Take a look at the repo for more guidance on how to get started!
That’s all
That’s all we can say for now, but stay tuned for more exciting news in the coming weeks!
