There has recently been some confusion over the contents of the package repositories located at http://yum.puppetlabs.com/ I hope to clarify the intended purpose of these repositories with the following information.
The "base" repository located at: http://yum.puppetlabs.com/base/ contains official packages for software Puppet Labs has released. Currently this repository contains official releases of MCollective and Dashboard. The "prosvc" repository contains packages some of us (myself comes to mind) in the company have found useful and use in our own projects from time to time. The repository is meant to be by copied into a local repository to provide an easier to manage solution than compiling things by hand. I don't recommend pointing production systems at the prosvc repository, instead pull the packages into your own repository. We may remove versions of software you're relying on, and I'd hate to have that cause issues. The prosvc repository is also "unofficial" and provided as a convenience. There was some confusion about the passenger RPM's in the base repository. These shouldn't have been there and have been moved into the prosvc repository. If you're looking for RPM's of Passenger, please pull down and test the 2.2.11 RPM's at http://yum.puppetlabs.com/prosvc/ rather than the older RPM's we had in "base" I've removed the old RPM's from base and added a README.txt file to help prevent confusion in the future. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
