I've been working with puppeteers to port Puppet 4.x on F22, and it has been for a long time in testing but Puppet 4.1 is being currently pushed to stable. I'm not backporting it to older Fedora, as Puppet 3.x is still supported on these platforms. As Orion and I were the ones doing Puppet updates recently, I found a new maintainer for Puppet who will be able to keep it in a sane state. > > I’ve long awaited having PuppetDB provided within Fedora[2] and from what I > understand the bundling has hindered that effort substantially.

We're considering packaging it for OpenStack but outside Fedora as it will be too much effort for us. If you're willing to contribute packaging it, then I could help you in this task.
