Open Stack

Hello Thomas,

The version stated in metadata.json is pretty much only used to show support
on PuppetForge when a module is uploaded, it could mean you cannot do
"puppet module install openstack-<module>" if your puppet binary is version 5.

We'd want any new users to use Puppet 6, the metadata which shows on PuppetForge
would be the only place saying Puppet 5 which I don't like.

Best regards

Hi Tobias,

Well, I am scared it breaks something indeed.
Why don't you think it wont break anything with Puppet 5?
If we are to continue gating on Puppet 5 (in Debian at least), what is
the problem in keeping Puppet 5 in metadata.json files?

Cheers,
