CentOS 7 comes with ruby 2.0.0.353-20.el7. I'm trying to install puppet there, and running into errors. First I run:
rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/epel-release-7-1.noarch.rpm
Those work fine. Then I run into problems with this:
[root@localhost /]# yum install puppet
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.beyondhosting.net

* extras: mirror.tocici.com

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It looks like it requires ruby 1.8. Ruby 2.0 is installed by default, and looks to be the earliest available. What am I missing?

It appears that you had the puppetlabs repo for EL6 installed, then removed and replaced it with the repo for EL7. But yum still has cached data for the EL6 repo. Just clean it out and try again.
