Fedora Infrastructure uses the puppet configuration management software to push configuration files out to all of its machines. A new release of puppet has been created and pushed out to the EPEL repositories today. This release includes several security fixes [1]_ that we have decided are very important for us to apply. Due to that, we are going to be updating puppet on all of our machines. We're sending this message out to alert you to the potential for disruptions from this, including disruptions that could slip the Fedora Beta release. We do not anticipate such problems because the actual changes to the puppet code should be rather small. We're not even anticipating any interruption of services. However, this update is going out to all of our machines so we want people to be aware that problems could occur and if they experience any problems in the critical path to releasing the Beta on time to report them to us ASAP [2]_. ..
