> Puppet 0.24.8 is now available!
Congrats and thanks!
For the impatient, I updated the Fedora and EPEL packages¹ at
http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/. I'll work on getting 0.24.8
into the official repos over the next few days.
¹ No Rawhide/F11 packages yet, as my build box is CentOS 5 and will
need an rpm update to create rawhide/F11 packages. The F10 packages
_may_ work on rawhide/F11. If not, a simple rebuild will suffice.
