I don't know about Luke, but I do.  That provides not only control
over the repository contents, but also (for me) much better
performance, as my queries and package retrievals do not have to leave
my internal network.  I also get better availability because the
repository has fewer clients, and if it ever goes down I can fix it.

Moreover, you then have the option to rely on your local repository
instead of Puppet for control of package versions.  That is, maintain
in your repository only those software versions you want to use, and
let your Package resources all simply specify the "latest" version.
No more tweaking manifests when you qualify a new package version!


Cheers,

John
