Puppet users - Feb 2013 - Puppet experience better in Fedora 17 or Fedora 18?

I''ve been struggling to get cobbler to bootstrap puppet in Fedora 17.  
Currently I''m suffering from puppet bug #9084, and I''m about
to see if
applying the changes from https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/831 get 
me functional (I''ve already tried the symlink to ca.pem workaround, and
it
didn''t get me there).  I''ll find out this evening if
that''s already been
applied to the fedora 17 package, in which case I''m stuck.

Would I have a better experience if I skipped to Fedora 18, since it''s 
using Puppet 3.0, or am I just trading in for a better class of
"puzzles"?

Fedora 18 is officially supported in the puppetlabs yum repos now.
Last I looked it wasn''t (only a couple of days ago).
I have been running a couple of node on Fedora 18 for a while and there is
a few issues that occur but I think they still affect 17 as well.
Most of the issues I have seen relate to systemd especially when the
service still has an init script. There are bug reports relating to those
issues and they are still in progress.
I am getting tempted to offer my services to test those bugs...

I can''t comment on cobbler or the bug you are seeing.

Good luck either way.

Pete.

Actually scratch the comment about puppet having packages for Fedora 18.
The repo exists but it seems to be empty for now.
I guess they are still building it.

Puppet 3.0.2 is in the updates-testing repository for Fedora 18.

Follow up: The patch I mentioned is in 2.7.18, available from Fedora 
updates, but what I had Cobbler installing was the 2.7.13 from the original 
Everything repository (it''s not in the Fedora repository).  I added an 
updates repository to cobbler, containing the 2.7.18 version and the 
dependencies it needed (newer ruby, facter, rubygems, ruby-libs, 
rubygem-io-console, rubygem-rdoc ruby-irb rubygem-json rubygem-bigdecimal; 
the cobbler doc hints that the reposync will resolve dependencies for you, 
but I find that works inconsistently if at all).  Result: success!  The 
puppet agent runs as expected.
