tar Cookbook

Build Status Cookbook Version

Installs tar and includes resources for managing remote tar files. tar_package handles remote source package compilation. tar_extract handles retrieving remote tar files and extracting them locally.

Resources

tar_package

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.

Actions

  • :install: Installs the package

Properties

  • 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.

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

A tar_extract LWRP provides an easy way to download remote tar files and extract them to a local directory.

Actions

  • :extract: Extracts the tar file from a url
  • :extract_local: Extracts the tar file from a local file path

Properties

  • 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.

Example

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.
