## Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a long time I had a "secret list" of bugs that made me going crazy when
|
|
|
|
|
using puppet. But as I get more often asked ***Why have you writen
|
|
|
|
|
[[cdist|software/cdist]] and migrate away from puppet?***, I'm publishing the
|
|
|
|
|
list here, to give it a real home.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Early clearification, before rumors come up and bad blood created:
|
|
|
|
|
This is **not intented** to be a **bash puppet page**, but a
|
|
|
|
|
**I don't need to re-explain why I moved away from puppet and
|
|
|
|
|
have written cdist page**.

|
