Generally, the most up to date packages are in epel-testing. If you
enable epel-testing, you'll also want epel enabled. At the moment,
that will get you the latest stable releases of puppet and facter
(well, facter is at 1.5.5 instead of 1.5.6 because 1.5.6 doesn't
contain any fixes relevant for Fedora/EPEL).
If you really want to live dangerously, I have puppet-0.25beta1
packages in a repo on fedorapeople.org:
http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/epel/
Like Lutter's repo, this one is meant for use only by those willing to
test new packages at their own risk. Of course I'm always interested
in reports of packaging bugs, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to
push out fixed packages in a hurry there.
