We work very closely with the EPEL maintainers too (actually I am
one); so those packages are normally quite well tested.  They are
however, normally a few version behind the upstream available
versions.

That's no longer the case with apt.puppetlabs.com and
yum.puppetlabs.com (or if it is, my team messed up).


The gem install to me leaves a bad taste in my mouth; you don't get
init scripts, you have to run some extra commands to setup
/etc/puppet, etc.  It's certainly workable, but not a favorite for me.
