Thanks for the responses :) I'll respond to all three here.... OS is RedHat Enterprise :( not my first choice.

If it can create rpms from a standard install that would work for me -- I would still have to get them into the local channels which is a real pain. If one can stash rpms somewhere on the puppet server and have it install them rather than having yum do the install that would be even better. A little background: I am managing a fairly small set of machines (network security monitors) and some of these packages are being installed on just two or three boxes so spending a lot of time building packages is simply not worth it. The apps are also updated fairly frequently and I need to stay on the bleeding edge :( That is why I was looking at doing something simple. Puppet has been really great tool for this and allows me to move apps around between sensors or build new sensors in a really straight forward way...
