Puppet users - Aug 2013 - Installing Puppet 3 client on a Raspberry Pi

I''m trying to install the latest Puppet client on my Raspberry PI but I
am
getting the following errors;

wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-wheezy.deb
sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release-wheezy.deb
sudo apt-get update
W: Failed to fetch http://apt.puppetlabs.com/dists/wheezy/Release  Unable 
to find expected entry ''main/binary-armhf/Packages'' in Release
file (Wrong
sources.list entry or malformed file)

Any idea on how to fix this?

There''s nothing prebuilt in the official repo for the arm processor in
the
raspi, I''d guess. You''re probably going to have to build from
source,
unless someone else has already made a package.

What about installing via a gem?

There''s an experimental 3rd-party apt repo
here<http://apt.cegeka.be/puppetlabs/>,
that seems to work for me. Corresponding instructions on how to build those 
packages yourself are in this blog
post<http://www.dammekens.be/2013/04/04/packaging-puppet-3-1-1-for-arm-raspberry-pi/>
.

Note my comment below that blog post. I had a dependency issue that caused 
Ruby 1.8 to be pulled in, while I try to use just Ruby 1.9. If you already 
use Ruby 1.8, you''ll be fine. I''ve asked the owners to fix
that.

It would be very nice if Puppetlabs would build packages for the armhf 
platform, since ''disposable'' computing devices like the
Raspberry Pi are a
good fit for config management. For now, I''m using the above repo.

Regards, Martijn
