Hi,I would like to install Piwik [*], which is a PHP webstatistics package, on some of my nodes, using Puppet. The underlying servers are running Debian Squeeze. Piwik is distributed as a .zip or .tar.gz file, which is available at their website. They provide a constant URL always pointing to the latest release: http://builds.piwik.org/latest.zip How can I download and unzip this package to a defined location on my nodes, changing the UID/GID of the unzipped files from root to www-data? Your help is greatly appreciated!
Although this task can be done with puppet, puppet is not designed to do it. It simply is not deploy/installation tool. It would be best if you could package up piwik in the OS native packages (deb). That way you could set up exact permissions, pre/post scripts, and then use puppet's "package" resource to install it.
If you instead try to do the whole fetch/untar/chmod with puppet, you'll find yourself in a world of grief ...
