I'm planning to use Puppet to manage a rollout of Ubuntu 8.10
workstations.

Ubuntu 8.10 comes with an Puppet 0.24.4 package.  There's a newer one
in testing, but they still aren't up to 0.24.6.   Not surprisingly,
even something like Testing is going to lag behind the latest stable
Puppet release.

Thus, my question: what's the best practice on keeping puppet itself
up to date?  The real issue is obviously the clients; I know about the
advice to update the server first, but you do that once.

The options I've read about are ..

* Build my own packages.  (I could learn how to do this, but for right
now, I really wanted to concentrate on Puppet..)
* Use Puppet to somehow use Ruby gems to install update Puppet clients
* build Puppet from source, but then I'm not sure how you keep this up
to date on client machines.

I'm sure this is a common problem, so I'm just wondering how others
have done it.
