The purpose of this tool is to take a given local module directory and compile
|
|
it into a .tar file, known as the tarball, that can then be installed directly
|
|
by Puppet on a target machine or uploaded onto the Puppet Forge so that it can
|
|
be accessed publicly.
|
|
|
|
As part of this process any non-deliverable aspects of the module, parts of it
|
|
related to the modules development or testing for example, are stripped away
|
|
leaving only the documentation and the puppet/ruby code that is needed for the
|
|
module to function.
|
|
|
|
The parts of the module to be excluded are defined in a .pdkignore, .pmtignore
|
|
or .gitignore file with the first one to be found in this given order being
|
|
used. Any directories or files that are listed in the ignore file are then
|
|
excluded, allowing the user to customize what is and what is not excluded.
