Puppet master is a Ruby application that compiles configurations
for any number of Puppet agent nodes, using Puppet code and various
other data sources. (For more info, see Overview of Puppet's
Architecture.)
Puppet Server is an application that runs on the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) and provides the same services as the classic Puppet master
application. It mostly does this by running the existing Puppet
master code in several JRuby interpreters, but it replaces some
parts of the classic application with new services written in
Clojure.

===> The following configuration options are available for puppetserver-2.8.0_1:
====> Options available for the radio FACTER: you can only select none or one of them
CFACTER=off: Use facter 3.x (experimental rewrite in C++)
RFACTER=on: Use facter 2.x (written in Ruby)
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Utilize symlink from sysutils/rubygem-facter
To avoid needing to hardcode the facter version, utilize the latest
symlinked version.
