I'm really a fan of EPEL and I really appreciate the work that is put into it. However I never saw EPEL as something to be stable and that things can break. And I think there is also a warning about that. This is in my opinion the trade-off of introducing non EL packages into your systems. This means that your leaving the supported territory of your distro that updates within minor releases don't or at least should not break things. If one like to have things from EPEL however doesn't like to break the current installation with future updates the only good solution is to have it's own web-directory somewhere, where you put your rpms into, run creatrepo and point a yumrepo to its url.

Puppet is still a target that is moving fast forward and so is the domain in which tools like puppet are situated. And yeah, the price is definitely worth in this case. :) cheers pete -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuQORoACgkQbwltcAfKi39ajACgkLIwz2X49SiKkNBlPqvlL5eH b+oAnizzvfZ4FDIqC7kkI9ibA2TTuIhF =URss -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
