 Yum caches repository metadata on clients for a default of six hours.  This can cause problems when trying to land package changes, as the change will not be visible on clients for this time.  A cache reload can be forced by incrementing '''$repoflag''' in modules/packages/manifests/setup.pp, working around the problem.

 In many cases, we want customized or patched packages.  Those should be under ''packages::mozilla''.  Packages in this space have more requirements, since they are not simply pulling in a publicly available package. See [[ReleaseEngineering/PuppetAgain/HowTo/Hack on PuppetAgain#Custom Packages]].

+This is a newer version than is distributed by CentOS.  It seems no other changes have been made.

+This is a python tool to retry an operation a configurable number of times.

+This installs the jford's tool to set the screen resolution on a Mac in /usr/local/bin/screenresolution.  The screenresolution class uses this on Darwin.
+=== packages::mozilla::supervisor ===
+A newer version of supervisor package based on FC16 spec file and supervisor_3.0-0.10.a12. Used by <tt>supervisord</tt> module.
 === packages::mozilla::tooltool ===
 This installs the tooltool script at /tools/tooltool.py; it is built from a template to use packages::mozilla::python27.
