I found this almost completely by accident:

Likewise I also found the puppet RPM for 0.24.6. In the GUI:

Only downside is that when I log into RHN "Hosted" (i.e. their
publicly-facing Satellite rather than our internal one which merely
syncs from it) I can't find the MRG channels. Even though we sync
them successfully every night.
Anyhow, very interesting, no?
And looky here:
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/puppet-0.24.6-3.el5.src.rpm
No "binary" package unfortunately, but that's just standard RH
practice. Source and debuginfo pacakge (n/a for Ruby progs obviously)
are available from ftp.redhat.com but binary (incl noarch) comes from
Satellite.
Incidentally for the curious, the local RH-mod (at revision 3 as
above) is just a patch to the init script for RHEL4. Plus some RPM
post script work. I have to say all of the pidof type stuff improved
dramatically in RHEL5.
MRG - "Messaging, Realtime, Grid". Puppet being particularly suitable
for configuring Grid machines. So not quite RH core but RH-provided,
certainly. Supported? Who knows.
Happy Puppeteering,
Derek
