Puppet fork OpenVox makes first release

The Vox Pupuli project has
announced the first release of OpenVox, a
'soft-fork' of the Puppet
automation framework. The intention to fork was announced
in December 2024.

OpenVox 8.11 is functionally equivalent to Puppet and should be a
drop-in replacement. Be aware, of course, that even though you can
type the same commands, use all the same modules and extensions, and
configure the same settings, OpenVox is not yet tested to the same
standard that Puppet is.

Please don't use these packages on critical production
infrastructures yet, unless you're comfortable with troubleshooting
and reporting back on the silly errors we've made while rebranding and
rebuilding.
