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 .

Thanks Mike - That's effectively a big leap forward.
Although it's more likely a question to post on EPEL list:
Are the
yum.puppetlabs.com/el packages not destined upfront for EPEL?.
Puppet Labs
releases a version of Puppet about once a month. That's
kind of fast moving for EPEL (since you have to wait at least 2 weeks
in epel-testing). Sometimes Puppet breaks compatibility between
versions also. We try not to do this, but sometimes it happens. We're
really trying not to do that though.
What's the behaviour issue?
I understand packages would have to be rebuilt using RH standards but one would assume
they are compatible.
Packages are up to EPEL/RH standards. It's more an issue
of if you
had manifests/modules that worked with 0.25, then 2.6 in 2.7 they may
not quite work.
Do there is a roadmap for Puppet to make to RHEL 6?
Not sure about this question.
We support EL 6 today.
Especially in regards of RHN Satellite roadmap and being able to pave
the road in that direction.
I can't speak too much about Satellite, as I'm not much of a community
member there any more.

What's the time-frame targeting Puppet 2.6/2.7 being part of EPEL 5/6?
I can't speak too much about Satellite, as I'm not much of a
community
member there any more.
Well, RHN Satellite road map is to make use of Puppet. But
Puppet stays an independent project, so one would expect it to be part of the RHEL
packages and not RHN Satellite. I believe that's a driver to make the hop from EPEL
towards RHEL standard packages.
