Staging module for Puppet

Manages staging directory, along with download/extraction of compressed files.

WARNING: Version 0.2.0 no longer uses hiera functions. The same behavior should be available in Puppet 3.0.

NOTE: Version 1.0.0 will be the last feature release. New functionality such as checksum will be implemented in a type/provider module puppet-archive.

Usage

Specify a different default staging path (must be declared before using resource):

class { 'staging':
  path  => '/var/staging',
  owner => 'puppet',
  group => 'puppet',
}

Staging files from various sources:

staging::file { 'sample':
  source => 'puppet://modules/staging/sample',
}

staging::file { 'apache-tomcat-6.0.35':
  source => 'http://apache.cs.utah.edu/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.35/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.35.tar.gz',
}

Staging and extracting files:

staging::file { 'sample.tar.gz':
  source => 'puppet:///modules/staging/sample.tar.gz'
}

staging::extract { 'sample.tar.gz':
  target  => '/tmp/staging',
  creates => '/tmp/staging/sample',
  require => Staging::File['sample.tar.gz'],
}

Deploying a file (combining staging and extract):

staging::deploy { 'sample.tar.gz':
  source => 'puppet:///modules/staging/sample.tar.gz',
  target => '/usr/local',
}

Staging files currently support the following source:

• http(s)://
• puppet://
• ftp://
• s3:// (requires aws cli to be installed and configured.)
• local (though this doesn't serve any real purpose.)
