We always create our own backport of the official Ubunutu packages from the latest release. http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/puppet Just download/unpack the source and build it with your favourite build-tool (pbuilder or similar). It currently builds even on Hardy without modifications. Best regards, Martijn. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
