I'm pretty sure it was the Detroit Party Marching Band providing the music for today's Festifools parade in Ann Arbor.
Lyle Solla-YatesI am excited to go to another puppet parade in sunny Charlottesville this month to honor Stan Winston and Steve Warner https://www.arch.virginia.edu/events/stan-winston-steve-warner-festival-moving-creature-2026 #cville #puppet #StanWinston #UVa
IBBoardKinda getting there. Added `--debug` to Puppet and grepping for Augeas in the output.
I _think_ the commands are right (an `insert before` followed by multiple `set` commands) but I'm currently getting `Unexpected node … can not match tree` and I don't know why.

Теодор Златанов / Ted Zlatanov@lkanies @atpfm @siracusa @marcoarment I thought about why Marco and others might consider and then decide #configmanagememt is not needed… here’s where I think it shines normally, whether you use #cfengine or #puppet or #chef or #saltstack or others:
- scale / machine count / OS flavors (count of at least 150 in my experience to justify the investment, while all <100 minis are on the same OS)
- expressing diversity through machine roles and profiles (all of Marco’s machines are managed the same way)
- autonomous drift repair (probably the strongest need, but Marco seems happy doing it himself)
- DSL and wrappers/macros to express intent in an abstract way (but that requires a large investment in learning that DSL)
- dedicated infrastructure for extended functionality like monitoring outcomes and triggering actions (seems not strongly needed for those minis)
In Puppet Enterprise (PE) versions prior to PE 2025.9, malformed task or plan metadata was logged in the bolt-server log and the affected task or plan was ignored.
In 2025.9, malformed metadata caused the task and plan listing to fail to load and prevented affected tasks or plans from running. Errors were written to the bolt-server log.
This issue has been resolved in PE 2025.10.
