[CFT] Bringing in Puppet 5

[Romain Tartière]

Hello all,

Because of a transient mail problem, Zach Leslie replied to me
privately.  With his authorization, I copy here some bits of his reply
so that all maintainers have the same information.

So, so far, these ports could be switched to puppet@ for maintainership:

  - databases/puppetdb-terminus3
  - databases/puppetdb-terminus5
  - databases/puppetdb3
  - databases/puppetdb5
  - devel/rubygem-hocon
  - sysutils/puppet4
  - sysutils/puppet5

I mailed portmgr@ asking for details about how to proceed and am waiting
for a reply from them.

sysutils/puppetserver5 should definitively be in this list.  I am not
using it for now, so I can't test it, that's why it is not in the list,
but since running a puppet master from the Ruby source is deprecated,
it's a must-have.

On 11.0, I see that sysutils/facter crashes when LC_ALL=C.  The problem
does not occurs on 10.3.  The backtrace show that the problem is related
to locales, but I had no time to dig into this.
