Hi, I am planning on removing the yum repos[1] on my people page for a number of reasons: (1) they are unnecessary since the same set of packages is available from more offical palces (see below) and (2) using these RPM's is actively dangerous since they are not signed, and are therefore open to any number of attacks.
If you are on Fedora, you get the latest stable yum from the repositories that are already enabled; if you want to be more bleeding edge, you can enable the updates-testing repo and get not-quite-stable packages as soon as they are available. If you are on RHEL/CentOS/..., puppet packages are available in EPEL[2]. Because EPEL only pushes packages from testing to stable when a RHEL update release happens, you need to use the appropriate epel-testing repo for 'in-between-updates' - be careful though, since packages there show up as soon as they've been built, not when they are pushed to stable in Fedora. Finally, if you need historical puppet packages, you can get them directly from koji [3]. So, gentlemen, update your yum repo configs ;) The actual removal will happen next Friday, 2/20/09.
