Name : puppet
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 2.6.17
Release : 2.el5

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:
This is an upstream security release. It addresses a number of issues found in
puppet-2.6.x. The Red Hat security team has rated this update as having low security
impact.

NetworkManager compatibility should be improved in this release, thanks to Orion Poplawski
(any bugs in implementing Orion's suggested dispatcher script are my own).
