Ed, I am having trouble unzipping any tarball via Puppet. So I installed
your module to see how you might have done it. It runs, it creates the
javapath and copies the file... but I get the same error that I get on my
modules... can I please ask how you made unzip work? I am on Ubuntu
10.4.1, and 2.6.4 (Puppet Enterprise 1.0).
err: /Stage[main]/Apache-maven-v3/Exec[install_maven_v3]/returns: change
from notrun to 0 failed: /bin/tar zxf
/usr/local/java/apache-maven-3.0.3-bin.tar.gz returned 2 instead of one of
[0] at /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/apache-maven-v3/manifests/init.pp:18
