I''ve made a RPM for RHEL5 sans the COPYING file, find it here: http://nephilim.ml.org/~rip/puppet/facter-1.5.5rc1-1.el5.noarch.rpm to help people who want to test it. -- R.I.Pienaar --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

This slipped through the CHANGELOG.
