I''m wondering if I can just install puppet into the .app directory, that way

I''m trying to set up a system in which the web devs can deploy new websites via puppet kick. I''m not having a problem with puppet kick itself, but rather figuring out how to make my "webserver::sitelist" class *only* get deployed via puppet kick, and not have it regularly evaluated in the nodes.pp file. I don''t want webserver::sitelist to ever get

We would like to avoid pre-scheduled updates in our production environment by puppet. The solution I''ve come across is to instruct the puppet agent not to update on a schedule and instead use "puppet kick" from the puppet master to force updates when we''re ready to deploy them.
