PuppetAgain needs to be able to repeatably produce identical machines over long time ranges (years). That means carefully controlling which versions of which packages are available to be installed, both during machine creation and in runs of the puppet agent. However, it's impractical and unnecessary to specify the exact version of *every* package installed on a host. | PuppetAgain needs to be able to repeatably produce identical machines over long time ranges (years).

* Do not allow the copying of a package to a repository to be the event that deploys a change -- that's un-trackable and difficult to revert | |||
* Repositories form a strong isolation boundary: if you modify repository A, it's easy to guarantee that repository B hasn't changed. Repositories are cheap, so use lots of them. | |||
* A repository's update cadence is part of its definition, so define that up front. | |||
* Repositories should be for use by puppet only. Other consumers, such as mock environments, docker, etc., will have a different required update cadence and are unlikely to implement the proper resiliency to mirror failure, and thus should use repositories hosted elsewhere. | |||
