I took the RHEL/EPEL RPMs for ruby-shadow and puppet and rebuilt them for
SLES.  There are very few things that need changing.  The RHEL/EPEL RPMs
have really well put together SPECfiles.

I believe I posted the SPECfile diff for puppet to this list a month or so
ago.  You might search the archives.  Mostly what I did was comment out the
Red Hat specific dependencies - it was really easy.  You can build without
Augeas if you're not using it.

Good luck.
Jeffrey.
