Issue #13542 has been updated by Ken Barber.
I'm adding the dependency here on the minitar work, its not a hard dependency as such - but this task would be achieved better with minitar available. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13542: PMT cannot install tarballs for modules that don't exist on the Forge https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13542#change-70116 Author: Pieter van de Bruggen Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: module tool Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: At present, unless you specify the `--ignore-dependencies` flag, the module tool behaves as follows when told to install a tarball: * Verify that the name ends in `.tar.gz` * Copy the tarball into the staging area * Decompose the filename into author, module short name, and version components * Ask the Forge for the dependency information for that author/module/version combination * Download tarballs for each of the dependencies * Unpack the tarballs as usual If you try to install a tarball that doesn't exist on the Forge, the tool fails. If you try to install a tarball that doesn't match the naming convention `authorname-modname-version.tar.gz`, the tool fails. If you try to install a tarball and you have no ability to connect to the forge, the tool fails. If your tarball contains dependency information of its own, the tool ignores it. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
