As for puppet, it is fully supported on 1.8.7 and every now and again they slip in a feature which expects 1.8.7. Obviously we'd want to test against the Fedora RPMs, but upstream is fine with 1.8.7. --Stahnma 20:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
We discussed this in today's FESCO meeting and we have two questions:
- Is the difference between 1.8.6 and 1.8.7 really noteworthy?
- Does this require a mass rebuld?
- Why not 1.9.1, the first stable release of the 1.9 series? This would surely a be a bigger difference and justify a feature.
