+ I would prefer to do stuff cleanly and setup a iurt instance for mdv 
+ 2010.1 ( and .0 )
+ on ecosse or jonund, and let us push and rebuild on ( like we do for 
+ backport on mdv )
+ from cauldron svn.
+
+ We could also change in puppet
+ ensure => present to
+ ensure => latest, to be sure we are up to date ( for package definition 
+ ).
