In regard to: [Puppet Users] Re: The free software tarballs are now...:
The "Products -> Puppet Open Source" link on the main page takes you here: http://puppetlabs.com/puppet/puppet-open-source/ where we promote getting the source from GitHub rather than tarballs directly from us. The reasoning has generally been that if you want to use Puppet, the best way of consuming it is via packages, and if you want to get the source, the best way of consuming it is via Git.
There are certainly some benefits to GitHub, but my recurring gripe is that most software that's hosted on GitHub no longer seems to follow any notion of "versions" or "releases". This makes packaging and local version tracking a bit more tricky. I see that you PuppetLabs folks are continuing to do a good job of tagging release versions, though. That's great news, and I certainly hope it continues.
