This seems to be for Cfengine 2 only, so it's now deprecated. I have 
updated it to include a notice to this effect.

Same here!

As I guess you've realized, the current version is Cfengine 3.x, so make 
sure any tutorials you follow apply to that version. A quick way of 
checking is that all binaries are now called cf-* (like cf-agent) 
instead of the old naming "cf*" in Cfengine 2 (like cfagent).

Did you see the binary packages on cfengine.org? They make installation 
a breeze. You have to register and log in ("Engine Room" > "My cache"). 
Check out http://www.cfengine.org/pages/software.

Hope this helps,
Jonathan
