I have managed to get a recent puppet running on SLED 11 SP2. Much of what I did should also work with Zenworks, but I can't guarantee it. The first step is to get access to newer packages and here OBS has been very helpful. Here is a list of OBS repos that I am using. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/scm/SLE_11_SP2/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby/SLE_11_SP2/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/ruby:/extensions/SLE_11_SP2/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/puppet/SLE_11_SP2 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_11_SP2/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools:/scm:/svn/SLE_11/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/tools/SLE_11_SP2/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Apache/SLE_11_SP2/ Replace http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ with rsync://rsync.opensuse.org:/buildservice-repos/ to access over rsync. This should allow you to get a more recent version of ruby, puppet and facter installed. I also forced the package provider to use zypper. I hope that helps.
