Eli Reisman commented on WHIRR-694:
-----------------------------------
Hmm. Went back to Puppetlabs repo site(s), they no longer seem to publish the
.rpms, at least not at the rpm.puppetlabs.com or from the website (that i saw,
anyway) and the Debian versions seem to be different enough from version to
version to require separate packages for each.
If we stick with .deb file install, I can add a user configuration to the
recipe to choose which version of Ubuntu/Debian the Puppet install should be
compatible with, and download using that info. If we want to do a more
general/manual install of Puppet, I'll need to do a bit more research on what
that should look like, since I am not a Puppet user myself.

> Puppetlabs is strongly discouraging the use of puppet from the Ruby gems.
> Instead they are offering repositories for popular Linux distros over at
> http://[yum|apt].puppetlabs.com
> It would be nice to let Whirr use those instead of installing puppet as a gem
