Issue #5786 has been updated by Michael Knox.
I like the idea of handling tar's (gz, bzip2, or uncompressed) as a packaging provider, it's sounds like a better fit. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5786: Support tar/gzip as source https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5786 Author: Michael Knox Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: fileserving Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Many of my manifests for applications need to cover the following process: 1. Download <application>.tar.gz to host 1. Expand <application>.tar.gz 1. Whatever install process is required As an example (assuming Feature Request#5783): file {"/srv/<application>": source => "<puppet|http>://<path>/<application>.tar.gz", expand => true, recurse => true, ensure => directory, } This would create a directory, and populate it with the contents of <application>.tar.gz It would also keep the contents in sync with <application>.tar.gz. Expand is a new option for file, but perhaps this could be inferred (and the option not needed) as ensure => directory and source is a file. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
