Support for an offline/file based mirror about puppet-kafka HOT 5 OPEN

Apologies @DaniellMesquita I have left a comment on that pull request now!

from puppet-kafka.

Since we are using the module voxpupuli/puppet-archive instead of wget, it should be possible to use a different source than http. I think we just need to update the validation of the parameter mirror_url.

Instead of populating the $required_get_step, please add a before => Exec['untar-file-kafka-package'] to the respective retrieval resource.

@LyndonArmitage Too you can accept good pull requests instead of ignoring me for one year.
Btw, good idea supporting offline installs in this repo.
Use Intranet to installs, what think about?

from puppet-kafka.

Since the module is using puppet-archive there is the flexibility to specify a fully-custom mirror_url.

However in these lines, if my offline package does not end in tgz the package_url is downloaded as the default case, which again makes assumptions about how I've named the offline kafka package.

To support the varied configurations of offline downloads, is it possible to modify the module so that mirror_url is passed directly into source when provided by the user. Or can the module support an additional parameter that offers this customization?
