I'm not running newish puppet on rhel/cent 4, but the 0.25.6 EPEL packages seem 
to work well enough with my puppet master that runs 2.7.18.

Subject: [Puppet Users] newish puppet on RHEL4 and/or SLES9?

I'm in the process of building out a new puppet master and pulling our
existing/legacy infrastructure into Puppet control for the basic
system-level stuff (mail, syslog, sudo, ssh, etc.). Unfortunately, the
directive from on high is that all of our hosts need to be managed by
the same system. That list is about 95% RHEL/Cent 5 or 6, but there's a
few RHEL4 and SLES9 machines on the "must have" list. As upgrades are
very unlikely, I'd like to be on the newest version possible - ideally,
2.7.12+ on the master so I can leverage puppetDB.

Is anyone out there running new-ish puppet (2.7, or else 2.6) on such
ancient beasts? If so, can anyone point me at sources for the packages,
and dependencies? Or perhaps have spec files to share?

I'd like to say I can spend the time to build and test puppet and all
the dependencies, but alas, that is very far from the case.

Thanks for any assistance,
Jason
