Not to derail the thread too far, but upstream is now offering Puppet
in RPM format at
yum.puppetlabs.com/el or /fedora.
That might help if you'd like some newer items.
I'm also working with tmz on moving forward with the newer versions of
Puppet in Fedora/EPEL. Fedora shouldn't be a big problem. EPEL is a
bit more tricky as we have some behavior changes between 0.25, 2.6 and
2.7 .
(Disclaimer: I work at puppet labs)
