Since we've had a few threads about packages lately, I thought I would share where our Open Sources packages are available from. These areas are kept updated with the latest versions from Puppet Labs. This is in contrast with many distro policies (e.g. Squeeze at 2.6.2, EPEL at 2.6.14, etc).
RPM/Yum * http://yum.puppetlabs.com -- currently supporting el5,6 fedora 15/16. Fedora 17 soon. To get started, the easiest thing to do is to navigate to your distribution /products and install puppetlabs-release. This configures the yum repo and imports the GPG key. Deb/Apt * http://apt.puppetlabs.com -- currently supporting (hardy jaunty karmic lucid maverick natty oneiric unstable lenny sid squeeze wheezy precise). The easiest way to get started is to install puppetlabs-release found at the top level of apt.puppetlabs.com. Mac * http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/mac -- currently supporting native Mac packages for facter and puppet. Windows * http://downloads.puppetlabs.com/windows -- currently supporting native Windows MSI that includes facter with puppet. (This is new this month) Rubygems * http://rubygems.org/gems/puppet -- Gems available for all platforms. Gems also provides the least-good experience, IMHO, due to the user creation, lack of init script installation, etc. If you have questions, or have issues, either let me know, or file an issue under community package repository.
