Issue #5786 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
If we go down this path, I would like to fit this functionality into the existing package provider framework as much as possible without adding additional parameters that don't apply to any other package providers. You'd always be free to add a notify to an exec that accomplished the above. ---------------------------------------- Feature #5786: Develop "archive" (bz2/gz) package provider. https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5786 Author: Michael Knox Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: fileserving Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Many of my manifests for applications need to cover the following process: 1. Download <application>.tar.gz to host 1. Expand <application>.tar.gz 1. Whatever install process is required As an example (assuming Feature Request#5783): file {"/srv/<application>": source => "<puppet|http>://<path>/<application>.tar.gz", expand => true, recurse => true, ensure => directory, } This would create a directory, and populate it with the contents of <application>.tar.gz It would also keep the contents in sync with <application>.tar.gz. Expand is a new option for file, but perhaps this could be inferred (and the option not needed) as ensure => directory and source is a file. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
