[15:17] <dmsimard> Hi guys, regarding the puppet package in 14.04.
[15:17] <dmsimard> There isn't a /etc/default/puppet in Ubuntu 14.04's package anymore, in contrast to 12.04. Creating the file and putting "start=no" in it does not have an effect since even though the init script sources the file, it doesn't have a condition on the start variable anymore.
[15:18] <dmsimard> Should I report this ?
[15:29] <tarpman> dmsimard: hi, looks like that change was done on purpose by the debian maintainer of puppet
[15:30] <dmsimard> tarpman: I was trying to find the source/changelog of the actual change but could not find it, can you point me in the right direction ?
[15:30] <tarpman> dmsimard: looks like the service will be started automatically, but won't actually do anything unless you run 'puppet agent --enable'
[15:30] <tarpman> dmsimard: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-puppet/puppet.git;a=commitdiff;h=911303eee71f64299714de9a92326e2ed098984d
[15:30] <dmsimard> tarpman: I find it odd that the file is still sourced by now unused
[15:31] <tarpman> dmsimard: it can still be used to override the other variables, I think DAEMON_OPTS would be the main use case
[16:07] <dmsimard> tarpman: Thanks for your help :)
[16:09] <tarpman> dmsimard: hope it helped. cheers
[16:10] <dmsimard> *nod*, made a quick article about it :)
