Puppet users - Dec 2008 - Custom package install best practices

Is there a "best practice" way to install custom packages--i.e., not
from
the standard repository, but from a stand-alone .deb, .rpm, .tgz file,
etc.?  Off the top of my head, I can think of creating a definition that
uses arguments for filename, version, etc., but I''m interested in what
others have done or recommend.


Regards,
Casey

Create your own apt/yum repository, the use puppet to manage your apt/yum
configuration files to also include said repository.
