Adding this parameter to your file resource,
notify => Exec['Deploy Code'],
and these parameters to your exec resource,
require => File['/var/tmp/deploy.tar'],
refreshonly => true,
will create the appropriate dependency. Basically, it makes sure the file
resource must run before the exec. Puppet manifests do not run in a top down
manner, do it's important to specify the order of resouces when necessary.
