At my day job we had a few modules that did the same.  We addressed
this by moving the tarballs out of .../files, creating *.rpm and *.deb
packages with fpm (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm), hosting those
packages in our local package manager (we use JFrog's Artifactory for
development, so it was convenient and available for IT use), and then
using puppet's package resource to manage package installation.

Whilst not directly what you're trying to achieve, we do something similar 
to distribute Java etc by having a separate Puppet fileserver mount called 
'software'. 
Then anything that needs to consume those files can just use that mount 
point...

[Puppet Users] r10k, git and .gitignore

[Robert]

Hello List,

I finally managed to migrate our Puppet Master from the standard, simple
setup to a bit more advanced configuration with r10k and a Bitbucket server.

I converted all our modules into git repositories (one module per repo),
stored them in Bitbucket and configured r10k to deploy the whole
environment. It works and it's cool!

Now there is just one question mark left*:
- in some modules, under files, I store some bigger binaries (like
apache-maven.tgz or a jdk-1.8.tar.gz) for which I'd like to use .gitignore
files in order to leave these out of the repository, since they would
consume storage space and are easy to download again so they don't need to
be tracked. How could these files still be included in the files directory
after the r10k run?

Regards
Rp

* but I'm sure there will be some more later ;)
