2009-06-12 Thread Trevor Hemsley
What's the correct yum repo to use for installing Puppet & Facter on RHEL5 and Centos5? I used to get them from the dlutter-rhel5 repo but this seems to be massively out of date now - latest version of puppet-server in there is 0.24.5-1.el5 and facter 1.5.4-1.el5. In Epel I see puppet-server 0.2

I use the RPM's from plain EPEL for both RHEL 4 and 5, on both i386 and x86_64, and so far they've worked great. If you are concerned about the packages, I would recommend setting up a little test environment with a puppetmaster and a few clients, and just test it out. BR. Rune Stensø On 12 Jun,
