---------------------------------------- Refactor #15841: Consider bundling minitar (or equivalent) for use by puppet module face https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15841#change-88885 * Author: Ken Barber * Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Michal Ruzicka * Category: * Target version: 3.2.0 * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: pmtv3 * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1508 ---------------------------------------- This ticket is to track the potential bundling of minitar into Puppet for use by the puppet module face for building and installing modules: <https://github.com/halostatue/minitar> Right now, we have to use the system provided tar implementation which creates extra load in regards to: detecting which type (gnutar, bsdtar, suntar), detecting the version (and switches supported) and features (some tar implementations allow unpacking with absolute paths with no control for example). There is also the problem of the windows platform - whereby unless through installation of external tools - tar on Windows will not be available, thereby puppet module face will not work. I propose we vendor/fork minitar ourselves, in a distribution compliant way somehow so we can get around these issues. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
