Very nice! Puppet is full of surprises !
I did a local/custom repo with three RPM's in it because I use cobbler to build
the machines initially, and I can just put the package name in the
cobbler/kickstart package list.
I suppose I could have done a cobbler snnippet to load the RPM's, but a custom
repo covered all those bases with minimal tinkering.
