We've tossed around in the past the idea of a tarball "package" provider, which sounds like it might suit your needs? If we can come up with a reasonable rough heuristic to work out how to determine if a tarball package is installed, and whether it needs to be replaced by a newer version, I'm totally willing to hack this up, as it's really quite trivial code. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
