Puppet users - Dec 2007 - Puppet 0.23 client on Redhat 9

Hi,

         I wanted to know whats the ideal way to install puppet client
ie the below packages on Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) system --
2.4.20-8smp

 

I get the dependencies issue with the below(bcso they are for RHEL4
which is 2.6 kernel).

 

What would be an ideal way, where can I get the tar source of the
compatible version of puppet/facter/ruby for Redhat 9

 

 

facter-1.3.7-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

puppet-0.23.2-1.el4.i386.rpm

ruby-1.8.1-7.EL4.8.i386.rpm

ruby-libs-1.8.1-7.EL4.8.i386.rpm

You''re probably going to need to rebuild everything, especially ruby.
 Without hopping up on a soapbox too much RHL9 has been end-of-lifed for
quite some time it might be easier to move forward distro wise than
backwards from a packge perspective.

Normally I would say that an RHL9 person could use the CentOS-3 ruby
rpms, but even they are getting too long in the tooth to work with
current puppet.

I''ll hop on the soapbox that Chris declined to get on: RHL9 has been
end-of-lifed for almost 3 years (Apr. 30, 2004) You should not be using
that anymore, there''s no telling what security exploits lurk in that,
since nobody is doing any maintenance for it.

You can either move to RHEL, or, if you want a free update (free as in
beer, all the options are free as in speech), move to Fedora or CentOS.

Did I mention that nobody should be running RHL9 anymore ?
