Make the PE specific puppet modules public #10

Open bastelfreak opened 8 months ago

bastelfreak commented 8 months ago

Use Case

Debugging PE is sometimes a real challenge. The git repos for the modules are private. The .tar.gz install contains the code, so it's already public. But the installers lacks the git repo, so there are no historical information. Also PE has a proprietary license. Am I allowed to quote parts of it on slack? Nobody from Puppet was able to answer that for me. And submitting patches for those modules is just a pain because we cannot send a simple PR.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

Make the PE specific Puppet modules public and give them an open source license.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

Grant partners access to them.

Additional Context

What is the benefit of being a Puppet partner when I cannot access the code and cannot properly provide patches? That's not a partnership.

Related problem: it's currently not possible to write unit tests for puppet code that relies on the different PE modules. For example we've a profile that configures different settings on a primary, one of them is to add some repos via include pe_repo::platform::el_8_x86_64. We cannot write an rspec-puppet unit test for the class because we don't have pe_repo available.
