Name        : puppet
Product     : Fedora EPEL 5
Version     : 2.6.18
Release     : 3.el5
URL         : http://puppetlabs.com
Summary     : A network tool for managing many disparate systems
Description :
Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a
cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements
normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs, and hosts,
along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

The previous upstream fix to invalidate refreshes when services are started required a follow-up patch to handle the case when the target resource had no event registered.  The puppet agent would output an error similar to this:

err: /Stage[main]/Katello::Service/Service[katello-jobs]: Could not evaluate: undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass

This update backports the upstream follow-up patch, thanks to Dominic Cleal.
