Puppet and Facter now in MacPorts.
So even though we have reasonable packages out there for Puppet and Facter, some people prefer to install this sort of thing through MacPorts, the closest thing we have to a third-party packaging repository on OS X.
Anyway, Puppet and Facter are both out now.

Puppet is a configuration management solution.
nigelk@sillymidon [/Users/nigelk]
$ port search facter

Hi Nigel,
We’re maintaining a Macports tree for a few hundred Mac clients, so this is great news. Thanks!
Best,

Awesome to hear.
I didn’t distribute any special configuration files with the port installations. If there is stuff that would be obvious to include, please let me know and we can work on it.
