CentOS virt - Sep 2007 - virt-factory investigation (Server setup)

Hi,

I was trying to get virt-factory on my CentOS 5.

First I set up virt-factory repo (with fc6 packages).

Then following installation documentation I've typed:
------------------------------------------
yum install virt-factory-server
-------------------------------------------

Wich returned:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Error: Missing Dependency: puppet-server >= 0.23 is needed by package
virt-factory-server
-----------------------------------------------------------

Searching arround:
--------------------------------------------------------
yum list puppet-server

puppet-server.i386                       0.22.4-1.el5.rf        rpmforge        

Appropriate version was found in FC6 extras

Need to install first puppet:
http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/extras/6/i386/puppet-0.23.2-1.fc6.noarch.rpm
Wich required:
-------------------------------------
Adding for dependencies:
facter-1.3.7-1.el5.rf
ruby-1.8.5-5.el5
ruby-libs-1.8.5-5.el5
--------------------------------------
And installed:
http://fedora.mirror.iweb.ca/extras/6/i386/puppet-server-0.23.2-1.fc6.noarch.rpm
after

Finally:

Note that currently only posgeqsl is supproted as database

I do not use PGrs

so I ran:

To initialize DB.

This finalizes Server installation.

A lot of the deps that you mentioned are already in centos-5/testing repo, why 
not just use those packages / If we get some feedback on those - they might even
make it into the real repos they should be in.
