+So, the problem should be fixed now.
+
+The root cause is the upgrade of puppet that started sooner than planned
+
+For some reason, puppet 2.7.X was installed on rabbit.mageia.org since
+the main node, valstar, was not upgraded first ( and so rabbit was
+complainging about "post support" ). So I upgraded it after doing a
+quick test on my vm to check if some problem would arise. I am running
+it on my own servers since some time and didn't notice anything ( or
+forgot ), so I went with the upgrade route.
+
+However, just before the BS broke, I noticed that bcd.mageia.org was not
+working anymore, due to a weird apache error. Then the build system
+broke, and the website on valstar too ( like pkgsubmit, etc ), due to
+the same error. Since buildsystem need apache to be running for package
+installation, everything stopped working.
+
+Since a problem never appear alone, the upgrade of puppet also broke our
+svn hook that check puppet syntax, so I had to disable it, and to
+migrate to the new scheme ( which make me wonder why it didn't explode
+on my own servers ).
+
+( and alamut was not broken due to a breakage in postgresql module that
+prevented puppet from doing anything, so a breakage that prevented
+another breakage. It is fixed now I think. )
+
+The error was that before, in a puppet manifest, you could write :
+$foo = "$bar-stuff"
+
+and the content of $foo is $bar , with -stuff in the end
+and now, that the content of bar-stuff variable.
+
+So we have to use ${bar}-stuff.
+
+So in the end, I guess that's my fault from not warning to not do a
+version upgrade of puppet, sorry about that.
