[Labs-l] new puppetmaster version on Labs

your part :)


Operations has recently upgraded our production puppetmaster to version 
3.8.5.  In order to keep things in sync, I'm doing the following:

- (done) Upgrading the general Labs puppetmaster to 3.8.5

- (done) Updating the official puppetmaster (and client) packages in our 
repo to 3.8.5.  That means that any newly created puppetmasters will get 
those packages by default.

- (doing) Actively upgrading all existing in-labs Trusty puppetmasters 
(using role::puppet::self or puppetmaster::standalone) to 3.8.5.  
(Jessie puppetmasters should all be running the latest version already.)

That last change will result in two changes in puppet behavior on local 
puppetmasters:

1) Puppet runs may throw a deprecation warning, "Warning: Setting 
templatedir is deprecated."  That can be safely ignored until we 
rearrange the puppet repo to resolve it.

2) Puppet runs may include one additional action, 
"Puppetmaster::Passenger/Service[puppetmaster]/ensure: ensure changed 
'running' to 'stopped'"  This is dumb, and caused by a bug in the 
puppetmaster packages, but may also be safely ignored.

If you encounter any bad behavior apart from those last two items, 
please let me know!  In general, though, I expect this change to have no 
significant effect on anyone.
