Description:

This update provides Puppet 4 client for the Advanced Systems Management 12 Module.

The Puppet Server package for SLES is provided by upstream now and can be downloaded at https://yum.puppetlabs.com/sles/12/PC1/x86_64/

For a period of 6 months after the release of the Puppet 4 package, SUSE will continue to provide and support packages for Puppet 3. SUSE will not support the migration of the server package.

Before updating the client packages to version 4, see the prerequisites listed at https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.8/ (Section "Installing and upgrading", Subsection "Upgrade: From Puppet 3.x").
