puppet-agent (8.4.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    Puppet 8 is a major new release that introduces some breaking changes from
    the previous version.

    Legacy facts, such as 'hostname', 'ipaddress', 'osfamily' and others, are
    now disabled by default. If your manifests refer to such facts, you're
    likely to encounter issues compiling or applying catalogs. The recommended
    action is to migrate to structured facts, eg. "$facts['os']['family']".
    Alternatively, setting 'include_legacy_facts=true' in puppet.conf may be
    used to re-enable legacy facts.

    In addition, strict mode catalog compilation is now enabled by default.
    This may be reverted by using the 'strict_variables=false' and
    'strict=warning' settings in puppet.conf.

    More information about upgrading from Puppet 7 to 8 can be found at:
    https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/8/upgrading-from-puppet7-to-puppet8.html

    Finally, for improved compatibility with the larger Puppet ecosystem, the
    package also now ships the same set of core modules as upstream, in the
    $vendormoduledir directory. The modules are: augeas_core, cron_core,
    host_core, mount_core, scheduled_task, selinux_core, sshkeys_core,
    yumrepo_core, zfs_core and zone_core.

puppet-agent (7.22.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

    The behavior of purging this package has changed between 7.22.0-2 and
    earlier versions.

    Prior to 7.22.0-2, purging puppet-agent would remove configuration files
    and the /var/lib/puppet directory.

    Beginning with 7.22.0-2, when purging this package, debconf will prompt the
    user with a warning that all Puppet configuration and data will be removed.
    This includes the /etc/puppet, /var/cache/puppet, /var/lib/puppet and
    /var/log/puppet directories.

    The user will be able to opt out, and in this case only unmodified
    configuration files will be removed, as usual.

    If the package is being purged in non-interactive mode, these directories
    will be removed automatically.
