I m planning to use puppet to implement organizational linux hardening policies across the linux servers.
To begin with i have downloaded.
puppet-2.7.1.tar.gz and tried some basic configuration to get start with puppet.
Now i want to roll out the puppet but before that i would like to make puppet rpm to suit my environment(as no service is created for puppet/Uninstall process is not known).
How would i accomplish the same?
