and the main reason therefore is XMLRPC which puppet is currently using. and with xmlrpc everything have to be escaped which makes the whole thing painfully slow. see list archive for more discussions about that. > The original idea was that most people would leave the installation of > binary packages to the package manager and copy over small text files. > > Performance tuning for copying large files across is work in progress, and > is part of a major refactoring of the file transfer protocol in use. > > I believe this is due in the current stable release (or the next). switchover to REST is the big thing for 0.25.0 > We are working around this by converting binary packages into RPMs > and deploying those directly. and with that you can even use the package type to manage these packages. and you want to manage packages don't you? cheers pete --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
