Puppet 2.7.x and Facter 1.6 packages for Redhat/CentOS 5

[rvlinden]

All,

I used to download the Puppet and Facter RHEL5 rpm packages from
http://people.fedoraproject.org/~tmz/repo/puppet/epel/

but the latest version on that site is puppet 2.6.9 and facter 1.5.9.

Does anyone know if this site is the still maintained ? or if there
are other locations where the rpm's are published

Regards,
Rene

Yes, it's still maintained. I need to get puppet 2.6.x pushed into
Feodra and EPEL stable repos before I want to push 2.7.x into the
fedorapeople.org repos. I haven't had enough time the past few weeks
to make that happen, so I'm a little behind.

Yes, it's still maintained.  I need to get puppet 2.6.x pushed into
Feodra and EPEL stable repos before I want to push 2.7.x into the
fedorapeople.org repos.  I haven't had enough time the past few weeks
to make that happen, so I'm a little behind.

How does this relate to yum.puppetlabs.com? That's where I installed 2.6.7 from.

Thanks

I have builds of facter 1.6 and puppet 2.7.2 for EL 5 and 6 available

http://stahnma.fedorapeople.org/puppetlabs/

I'm working on Fedora 14/15 builds currently also.

These also are not currently signed, and there is no stahnma-repo rpm
or anything like that. I'm basically just trying scratch an itch a
few people have.

This won't be a permanent location. We are working on updating and
official puppet labs repository as well.

I've begun using the spec file provided in the puppet and facter
sources to build my own RPMs. So far to make the provided work with
2.7.1, I've made these changes...
The addition of ruby-shadow requirement and the namespace-auth.conf
are not necessary. I added ruby-shadow to force it always installed
and the namespace-auth.conf may no longer be necessary with 2.7.1,
but
was for as far up as 2.6.8.

Who would be the person to contact about assisting with maintaining
the puppet RPMs for EPEL or whoever else provides a public puppet
RPM?
