Question

support direct link to tar for download path

gregorskii opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

The cookbooks LWRP passes in the mirror and builds the tar path itself. Can this cookbook support direct links to a self-hosted copy of the tar, say in S3?

Thanks

This can already work this way, the download url for the ark resources that grabs & unpacks the archive looks like this:

"#{new_resource.mirror}/zookeeper-#{new_resource.version}/zookeeper-#{new_resource.version}.tar.gz"

So you simply need to structure the URL to your self-hosted copy such that the file is named zookeeper-#{version}/zookeeper-#{version}.tar.gz, and set the mirror value to whatever precedes that.

Closing this out.
