Issue #16059 has been updated by Tim Mooney.
Thanks Ryan, sorry I missed the previous bug report that this duplicates. Although I don't really believe in reinventing every needed external feature via a module, in this case I agree that #15841 is the best approach for all concerned. I look forward to seeing that in puppet some day. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16059: puppet module tool depends on GNU tar syntax (and semantics) https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16059#change-69611 Author: Tim Mooney Status: Duplicate Priority: Normal Assignee: Ryan Coleman Category: module tool Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.14 Keywords: solaris portability Branch: I'm using the puppet module tool that's part of puppet 2.7.14. We're primarily using puppet on Linux, but we have a small amount of Solaris and I do some testing on Solaris (10, x86_64). The extract_module_to_install_dir in unpacker.rb, part of the module tool, requires GNU tar syntax, specifically for -z (uncompress). IIRC, there may also be slight differences in how GNU tar handles -C vs. how SUS platforms do, but that's from memory so it may not be correct. I *do* have GNU tar installed on my Solaris systems, but there's no guarantee that it's going to be first in the PATH. I tried altering the unpack to be unless system "gzip -dc #{@filename} | tar xf - -C #{build_dir}" However that doesn't work because I was correct about -C having different semantics from that of GNU tar. On Single Unix Specification (SUS) systems, -C is apparently only valid on create & replace operations, not extract. What did work is this unless system "cd #{build_dir} && gzip -dc #{@filename} | tar xf -" I can certainly provide that as a patch, but is it even acceptable? It's a little ugly. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
