Yep, it's a big part of app deployment to push things that aren't packages, so we have lots of ways to do that.
Take a look at the module index, and you'll find a lot of useful modules. get_url is ideal for fetching a tarball, but there are also modules for checking out source code from git, svn, hg, and bzr. The "unarchive" module in 1.4 can also push a tarball and automatically extract it. http://ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html http://ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html#source-control http://ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html#files http://ansibleworks.com/docs/modules.html#network Hope this helps and let us know if you have other questions! --Michael On Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 10:08 AM, James Cammarata < [email protected]> wrote: > The yum and apt repositories mainly deal with configured repositories, > however (with at least the yum module I know), you can specify a URL or > local path for the package name and it will be installed just as it would > with yum.
