Feature #4817: Add a --compile_with_files option to puppet master
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4817

Author: Matt Robinson
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal

Category: newfeature
Target version: 
Affected version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I've written a few scripts that will:
Given: node name on the master
Output: tar.gz file with the compiled catalog and any module files that would 
normally be retrieved from the puppet file server

Give: tar.gz file on the client
Output: extract the files to the module dir and apply the compiled catalog

Benefit: Catalogs can be precompiled ahead of time with relevant files and 
shipped to clients that can't talk to the master (they may be in a DMZ).  Since 
the files are included there's no need for the client to contact any external 
server

There's already a --compile option that just outputs the catalog but not the 
files.

These scripts should be fairly easy to work into puppet code since the master 
script uses puppet code.  Or we may decide that this doesn't need to be an 
option to puppet and would make a better external script.
