Puppet users - Jan 2012 - Now that we have puppet node install....

I''ve been playing a bit with the puppet node install command, and I
was wondering if I should change to using puppet installed as a gem
instead of deb/rpm/whatever? That would allow me to use the very
latest puppet versions, without building my own deb/rpm packages or
waiting for them to become available upstream.

What''s your thoughts on this...?

Gems are generally a pretty bad user experience for install - we have
lots of feedback here to indicate that they cause lots of headaches.

I would suggest, instead, that you either use the OS packages we
produce, or roll your own deb or RPM package that you can easily
enough track trunk with.

Also apt.puppetlabs.com and yum.puppetlabs.com are reasonably up to date.
