Thanks James, Luke, Brice, and everyone else! If it helps others to test, I''ve got rpms for Fedora and EPEL at: http://tmz.fedorapeople.org/repo/puppet/ It should go without saying, but these are completely *unofficial* packages. :) For me, I was bitten by #2004¹. But other than that, things seem to work well in my light testing so far. ¹ http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/2004 -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I''m rooting for the machines. -- Claude Shannon
