Issue #8230 has been updated by eric sorenson. Status changed from Needs Decision to Rejected
Marking not-to-be-fixed. Package providers which support an underlying http transport already do this under the hood, see the rpm, dpkg, and dmgpkg providers for examples. Loading this onto the puppet fileserver would mean intercepting these calls in _some_ URLs but not others (which pass directly through to the command line), which seems kind of nasty. ---------------------------------------- Feature #8230: deal with "puppet://" URLs in package providers (source parameter) https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8230#change-66074 Author: Christophe Drevet Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: package Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: It would be nice if package providers could deal with "puppet://" URLs : * download the source file in a temporary space * install it using the underlying package manager * remove the source file (optional) This way, we would not have to specify a "file" directive and store the file on the client computer forever. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
