Issue #8612 has been updated by Jeff Blaine.
Ohhhh, it's an extraction of the tar file. My mind jumped to it being a
creation of the tar file, so was thinking it should be "creates =>
"/my/tar/file.tar"". I get it now.
The explanation was a bit sparse though. How about:
<blockquote>
A file that this command creates. If this parameter is provided, then the
command will only be run if the specified file does not exist. In the example
below, the tar file will not be extracted into /var/tmp if
/var/tmp/custcode-1.3 exists already (suggesting that the tar file was already
extracted there and that we know what the contents of the tar file would
extract to).
<pre>
exec { "tar xzf /some/path/custcode-1.3.tar.gz":
cwd => "/var/tmp",
creates => "/var/tmp/custcode-1.3",
path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin"]
}
</pre>
