Dear Puppet Using Admins

The Filecopy feature served may years very well for distributing individual files from Gitlab to the system. But the current implementation is bound to git(lab).psi.ch which will be switched off in not so distant future.

We thus ask you to migrate the Filecopy configuration to one of the more recent replacement options:

a) Download from an URL: https://linux.psi.ch/documentation/admin-guide/configuration/files/distribute_files.html#download-files

b) Download the file directly from Hiera, either inline or with the `hiera_file` option as file out of you Hiera (data-XYZ) repository: https://linux.psi.ch/documentation/admin-guide/configuration/files/distribute_files.html#create-files-with-specific-content

Following Sysdb environments need to migrate:

cits2
cocos
cryo
daas
esi
gmerlin6
hipa
meg
merlin
merlin6
photonics
proscan
sls
sls_beamlines
swissfel
tier3
tmerlin6
twlha

Please migrate these.

Kind regards
Konrad
