I Am refering to a problem already described on 
https://ask.puppetlabs.com/question/1879/is-it-possible-for-you-to-add-proper-symlinks-in-you-yum-repo/

As described on the thread on the previous link, there is a problem with 
scientific linux using your repos wich makes cloud-provisioner fail to install 
puppet. The problem is that in Scientific Linux the variable "$releasever" 
corresponds to "major.minor" and not only "major" so, when Scientific Linux 
tries to install from your yum repository it substitutes "$releasever" with 
(for example) "6.3" instead of only "6" (wich is what it works with your repo).

I got a workarroud this issue (as described in the link), but I thing is far 
from been a good and elegant solution.

I believe that the best solution, if it is not a problem for your part, would 
be to have added some symlinks with "minor" version number included pointing to 
your only "major" folder.
