It would be neat if puppet could use tar.gz's as a source, instead of
just bare directory trees. So I've lodged a feature request:
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5786
Many of my manifests for applications need to cover the following
process: 1. Download .tar.gz to host
2. Expand .tar.gz
3. 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
.tar.gz It would also keep the contents in sync with .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.
