This page describes how to recreate a Puppet server such as staging-puppet.build.mozilla.org or production-puppet.build.mozilla.org. These machines are based on the CentOS 5.0 Reference Platform and were originally cloned from Version 19 - but any version should do. The following changes were made to it after cloning:

Install Mercurial

yum install mercurial

Install the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) Package

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'

Install puppet

yum install ruby facter puppet ruby-shadow augeas-libs ruby-augeas
chkconfig --level 235 puppet on
