Issue #14715 has been updated by Matthaus Litteken.
Rather than forcing people to use gtar (which may not be available to all users), can't we just prefer gtar and warn about the dangers of tar if that is all there is (while using tar + gunzip combined)? ---------------------------------------- Bug #14715: puppet module tool uses wrong tar command on solaris 10 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14715#change-64313 Author: Matthew Flanagan Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Ken Barber Category: Solaris Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.14 Keywords: puppet module tool Branch: puppet/module_tool/applications/unpacker.rb assumes tar command supports the 'z' option to ungzip the downloaded tar.gz file. On Solaris 10 and earlier tar does not support this option. This causes the following error: # puppet module install --debug ppbrown-svcprop Preparing to install into /etc/puppet/modules ... Downloading from http://forge.puppetlabs.com ... Installing -- do not interrupt ... tar: z: unknown function modifier Usage: tar {c|r|t|u|x}[BDeEFhilmnopPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize] [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file...] {file | -I include-file | -C directory file}... Error: Could not extract contents of module archive. Error: Try 'puppet help module install' for usage On Solaris 10 /usr/sfw/bin/gtar usually exists and will work. On Solaris 8 and 9 a combination of tar and gunzip will be needed. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
