Puppet users - May 2013 - How to upgrade Puppet agent on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS to version 3 at first run?

Dear list,

When I bootstrap a new EC2 instance from a base Ubuntu 12.04 LTS image I 
use cloud-init to install the puppet-agent via apt, write a minimal 
puppet.conf and start puppet. Ubuntu 12.04 comes with puppet 2.7.*, and
I''d
like to upgrade to the 3.* version from Puppetlabs'' apt repo before 
starting the run that configure the machine into a specific role.

I''m having trouble figuring out how to add the repo and only upgrade
the
puppet agent, before starting the actual run with the upgraded version 3 
agent. I could use cloud-init to do this before puppet starts, but I''d
like
to keep the bootstrapping as simple as possible and manage things via 
Puppet.

This must be a common task, so how do you do it?

Thanks, Martijn

 Why not add the following lines into your cloud-config file?

apt_sources:
 - source: "deb http://apt.puppetlabs.com $RELEASE main"
   keyid: 4BD6EC30
   filename: puppetlabs.list
packages:
 - puppet


This is the config we use to install Puppet 3 at instance launch time.

Not a bad idea. I was trying to keep the bootstrapping as basic as 
possible, but I suppose this will make things a lot easier.

Do you subsequently overwrite the puppet config via Puppet, and any future 
puppet upgrades?
