> Naive question: Why don't you provide one in yum.puppetlabs.com :-) ? We provide a 1.8.7 that does what you're asking for EL 5s because we dropped support in Puppet 3 for Ruby 1.8.5. I don't know if we have plans to provide a 1.9.3 for any systems prior to us actually dropping support for 1.8.7.
Puppet Enterprise 3, however, comes with Puppet 3.2 and Ruby 1.9.3 :) > For RHEL derivatives one option might be Redhat's Software Collections. I was under the impression Software Collections were still largely a Fedora thing until RHEL 7.
