Resources/Providers
===================
A `tar_package` LWRP provides an easy way to download remote files and compile and install them. This only works for the most basic Autoconf programs that can do `./configure && make && make install`.
A `tar_extract` LWRP provides an easy way to download remote tar files and extract them to a local directory.
# Actions
`tar_package`
- :install: Installs the package
`tar_extract`
- :extract: Extracts the tar file from a url
- :extract_local: Extracts the tar file from a local file path
# Attribute Parameters
`tar_package`
- source: name attribute. The source remote URL.
- prefix: Directory to be used as the `--prefix` configure flag.
- source\_directory: Directory to which source files are download.
- creates: A file this command creates - if the file exists, the command will not be run.
- configure\_flags: Array of additional flags to be passed to `./configure`.
- archive\_name: Specify a different name for the downloaded archive. Use it if the directory name inside the tar file is different than the name defined in the URL.
Additionally, `tar_package` supports most `remote_file` [attributes](https://docs.chef.io/chef/resources.html#remote-file).
`tar_extract`
- source: name attribute. The source remote URL.
- target\_dir: Directory to extract into, e.g. tar xzf -C (target_dir)
- download\_dir: Directory to which tarball is downloaded (defaults to chef cache which requires root `group` and `user`).
- creates: A file this command creates - if the file exists, the command will not be run.
- compress_char: Flag for compression type, such as `z` for `gzip`. `man tar` for options.
- tar\_flags: Array of additional flags to be passed to tar xzf command.
- group: Group name or group ID to extract the archive under. If set to non-root group, point to a `download_dir` the group has permission to access.
- user: User name or user ID to extract the archive under. If set to non-root user, point to a `download_dir` the user has permission to access.
Additionally, `tar_extract` supports most `remote_file` [attributes](https://docs.chef.io/chef/resources.html#remote-file).
# Example
tar_package 'http://pgfoundry.org/frs/download.php/1446/pgpool-3.4.1.tar.gz' do
prefix '/usr/local'
creates '/usr/local/bin/pgpool'
end
This will download, compile, and install the package from the given URL and install it into /usr/local.
tar_extract 'http://dev.mycoderepo.com/artifacts/mycode-1.2.3.tar.gz' do
target_dir '/opt/myapp/mycode'
creates '/opt/myapp/mycode/lib'
tar_flags [ '-P', '--strip-components 1' ]
end
This will download the tarball to cache, extract the contents to /opt/myapp/mycode, use the file '/opt/myapp/mycode/lib' to determine idempotency, and pass both '-P' and '--strip-components 1' flags to the tar xzf command.
tar_extract '/tmp/mycode-1.2.3.tar.gz' do
action :extract_local
target_dir '/opt/myapp/mycode'
creates '/opt/myapp/mycode/lib'
end
This will extract the contents of /tmp/mycode-1.2.3.tar.gz to /opt/myapp/mycode and use the file '/opt/myapp/mycode/lib' to determine idempotency.
# ChefSpec Matchers
ChefSpec matchers are defined for tar_package and tar_extract.
