Puppet users - Feb 2009 - Increasing the fileserver retrieve timeout

I''ve got a really large file (100+ MB) which I can''t transfer,
as
puppet gives me the following error:
Connection timeout calling fileserver.retrieve: execution expired

Is there a way to increase the timeout?

cheers,
/Martin

I didn''t find an obvious timeout on puppetd or puppetmasterd
--genconfig
just now, but you may have already tried that. I don''t think many
people
use puppet for transferring large files for the reasons you''re running 
into. I keep an rsync repository on my puppetmaster for larger files and 
trees, and transfer them that way.

Unless the 100+MB file in question really needs puppet''s key-signed 
security, it''s probably best to avoid its fileserver for larger files
at
the moment. I think they''re working on moving to a REST-based transfer 
method that should fix the problem, but it''s not in 0.24.x yet.
