The puppet master on the labs integration project is rebased manually. The beta cluster puppet master has a script in a cron which attempts to rebase the puppet repository automatically. The script is being generalized in puppet via T1150 | https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/175663.
Once available in puppet, we will want to enable that feature on the integration puppet master.

hmm, I don't know if that'll actually work, however. It might!
I was referring to the 'configure' page on wikitech, which has a 'puppet variable', different from hiera (confusing, I know). Doing it in hiera might also work, however. Unsure.
That does not work with the hiera page, so I have set the variable true on integration-puppetmaster. The cron has been applied and a manual run confirmed it works fine :]
Thank you Yuvi!
We should figure out how to ensure that these random flags can be set via hiera in the future. Probably a separate issue to track and work on. Having 2 (or 3 or 4) places to configure puppet in Labs and needing to understand when to use which will become painful rather quickly.
