      # Homebrew can list only installed packages along versions.
      # for a complete list of packages, we could use `brew search`, but there's no easy
      # way to determine the version or wether it's installed.
      package_installed_regex       => ".*";
      package_list_command          => "$(darwin_knowledge.call_sudo) -u $(user) $(darwin_knowledge.call_brew) list --versions";

yum

Prototype: yum

Description: Yum+RPM installation method

This package method interacts with the Yum and RPM package managers. It is a copy of yum_rpm(), which was contributed by Trond Hasle Amundsen. The old yum package method has been removed.

This is an efficient package method for RPM-based systems - uses rpm instead of yum to list installed packages.

It will use rpm -e to remove packages. Please note that if several packages with the same name but varying versions or architectures are installed, rpm -e will return an error and not delete any of them.

Example:

packages:
    "mypackage" package_method => yum, package_policy => "add";

Implementation:

body package_method yum

yum_rpm_permissive

Prototype: yum_rpm_permissive

Description: Yum+RPM permissive (just by name) package method

This package method interacts with the Yum and RPM package managers.

Copy of yum_rpm which was contributed by Trond Hasle Amundsen

This is an efficient package method for RPM-based systems - uses rpm instead of yum to list installed packages. It can't delete packages and can't take a target version or architecture, so only the "add" and "addupdate" methods should be used.

Normally you have to specify the package version, and it defaults to *, which then triggers the bug of installing xyz-abc when you ask for xyz.

This "permissive" body sets

package_name_convention => "$(name)";

which is permissive in the sense of not requiring the version.

Example:

packages:
    "mypackage" package_method => yum_rpm_permissive, package_policy => "add";

Implementation:

body package_method yum_rpm_permissive
{
      package_changes => "bulk";
      package_list_command => "$(rpm_knowledge.call_rpm) -qa --qf '$(rpm_knowledge.rpm3_output_format)'";
      package_patch_list_command => "$(redhat_knowledge.call_yum) $(redhat_knowledge.yum_offline_options) check-update $(redhat_knowledge.check_update_postproc)";

      package_list_arch_regex    => "$(rpm_knowledge.rpm3_arch_regex)";

      package_installed_regex => ".*";
      package_name_convention => "$(name)";

      # not needed, same as package_name_convention above
      package_delete_convention => "$(name)";

      # set it to "0" to avoid caching of list during upgrade
      package_list_update_command => "$(redhat_knowledge.call_yum) $(redhat_knowledge.yum_options) check-update $(redhat_knowledge.check_update_postproc)";

yum_rpm_enable_repo

Prototype: yum_rpm_enable_repo(repoid)

Description: Yum+RPM repo-specific installation method

Arguments:

  • repoid: the repository name as in yum --enablerepo=???

This package method interacts with the RPM package manager for a specific repo.

Based on yum_rpm() with addition to enable a repository for the install.

Sometimes repositories are configured but disabled by default. For example this pacakge_method could be used when installing a package that exists in the EPEL, which normally you do not want to install packages from.

Example:

packages:
    "mypackage" package_method => yum_rpm_enable_repo("myrepo"), package_policy => "add";

Implementation:

body package_method yum_rpm_enable_repo(repoid)
{
      package_changes => "bulk";
      package_list_command => "$(rpm_knowledge.call_rpm) -qa --qf '$(rpm_knowledge.rpm2_output_format)'";

Policies examples:

-Install "web-server" group:
----------------------------

packages:
  "web-server"
    package_policy   =>  "add",
    package_method   =>  yum_group;

-Remove "debugging" and "php" groups:

rpm_filebased

Prototype: rpm_filebased(path)

Description: install packages from local filesystem-based RPM repository.

Arguments:

  • path: the path to the local package repository

Contributed by Aleksey Tsalolikhin. Written on 29-Feb-2012. Based on yum_rpm() body by Trond Hasle Amundsen.

Example:

packages:

    package_policy => "add",
    package_version => "5-4",
    package_architectures => { "noarch" },
    package_method => rpm_filebased("/repo/RPMs");

Implementation:

      # the above is an addition to Trond's yum_rpm body

      package_add_command => "$(rpm_knowledge.call_rpm) -ihv ";
      # The above is a change from Trond's yum_rpm body, this makes the commands rpm only.
      # The reason I changed the install command from yum to rpm is yum will be default
      # refuse to install the epel-release RPM as it does not have the EPEL GPG key,

      package_name_convention => "$(name)-$(version).$(arch).rpm";
      # The above is a change from Tron's yum_rpm body. When package_file_repositories is in play,

ips

Prototype: ips

Description: Image Package System method, used by OpenSolaris based systems (Solaris 11, Illumos, etc)

A note about Solaris 11.1 versioning format:

$ pkg list -v --no-refresh zsh
FMRI                                                                         IFO
pkg://solaris/shell/zsh@4.3.17,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0:20120904T174236Z        i--
name--------- |<----->| |/________________________\|
version---------------- |\                        /|

Notice that the publisher and timestamp aren't used. And that the package version then must have the commas replaced by underscores.

Thus, 4.3.17,5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0 Becomes: 4.3.17_5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0

Therefore, a properly formatted package promise looks like this:

   "shell/zsh"
     package_policy  => "addupdate",
     package_method  => ips,
     package_select  => ">=",
     package_version => "4.3.17_5.11-0.175.1.0.0.24.0";

Implementation:

body package_method ips
{
      package_changes => "bulk";
      package_list_command => "$(paths.path[pkg]) list -v --no-refresh";
      package_list_name_regex    => "pkg://.+?(?<=/)([^\s]+)@.*$";
      package_list_version_regex => "[^\s]+@([^\s]+):.*";
      package_installed_regex => ".*(i..)"; # all reported are installed

      # set it to "0" to avoid caching of list during upgrade
      package_list_update_command => "$(paths.path[pkg]) refresh --full";
      package_list_update_ifelapsed => "$(common_knowledge.list_update_ifelapsed)";

      package_add_command => "$(paths.path[pkg]) install --accept ";

smartos_pkg_add

Prototype: smartos_pkg_add(repo)

Description: SmartOS pkg_add installation package method

This package method interacts with SmartOS pkg_add to install from local or remote repositories. It is slightly different than the FreeBSD pkg_add.

This example installs "perl5" from a remote repository:

----------------------------
packages:
  "perl5"
    package_policy   =>  "add",
    package_method   =>  smartos_pkg_add("http://pkg.example.com/packages/");

opencsw

Prototype: opencsw

Description: OpenCSW (Solaris software packages) method

Implementation:

body package_method opencsw
{
      package_changes => "bulk";
      package_list_command => "/opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -c";
      package_list_name_regex    => "CSW(.*?)\s.*";
      package_list_version_regex => ".*?\s+(.*),.*";

solaris

Prototype: solaris(pkgname, spoolfile, adminfile)

Description: Package method for old Solaris package system

Arguments:

  • pkgname: Not used
  • spoolfile: The spool file, located in /tmp
  • adminfile: The admin file, located in /tmp

The older solaris package system is poorly designed, with too many different names to track. See the example in tests/units/unit_package_solaris.cf to see how to use this.

Implementation:

body package_method solaris(pkgname, spoolfile, adminfile)
{
      package_changes => "individual";
      package_list_command => "$(solaris_knowledge.call_pkginfo) -l";
      package_multiline_start    =>  "\s*PKGINST:\s+[^\s]+.*";
      package_list_name_regex    => "\s*PKGINST:\s+([^\s]+).*";
      package_list_version_regex => "\s*VERSION:\s+([^\s]+).*";
      package_list_arch_regex    => "\s*ARCH:\s+([^\s]+)";
      package_installed_regex => "\s*STATUS:\s*(completely|partially)\s+installed.*";
      package_name_convention => "$(name)";
      package_add_command => "$(solaris_knowledge.call_pkgadd) -n -a /tmp/$(adminfile) -d /tmp/$(spoolfile)";
      package_delete_command => "$(solaris_knowledge.call_pkgrm) -n -a /tmp/$(adminfile)";
}

solaris_install

Prototype: solaris_install(adminfile)

Description: Package method for old Solaris package system

Arguments:

  • adminfile: The admin file created by create_solaris_admin_file

Implementation:

body package_method solaris_install(adminfile)
{
      package_changes => "individual";
      package_list_command => "$(solaris_knowledge.call_pkginfo) -l";
      package_multiline_start    =>  "\s*PKGINST:\s+[^\s]+.*";
      package_list_name_regex    => "\s*PKGINST:\s+([^\s]+).*";
      package_list_version_regex => "\s*VERSION:\s+([^\s]+).*";
      package_list_arch_regex    => "\s*ARCH:\s+([^\s]+)";
      package_installed_regex => "\s*STATUS:\s*(completely|partially)\s+installed.*";
      package_name_convention => "$(name)";
      package_add_command => "$(solaris_knowledge.call_pkgadd) -n -a $(adminfile)";
      package_delete_command => "$(solaris_knowledge.call_pkgrm) -n -a $(adminfile)";
}

freebsd

Prototype: freebsd

Description: FreeBSD pkg_add installation package method

This package method interacts with FreeBSD pkg_add to install from remote repositories.

Example: NOTE: Do not use this method on pkgng systems! It will appear to operate normally but is highly likely to break your package system.

This example installs "perl5" from a non-default repository:

----------------------------

vars:
  environment => { "PACKAGESITE=http://repo.example.com/private/8_STABLE/" };
packages:
  "perl5"
    package_policy   =>  "add",
    package_method   =>  freebsd;

Implementation:

body package_method freebsd
{
      package_changes => "individual";

      # Could use rpm for this
      package_list_command => "/usr/sbin/pkg info";

      # Remember to escape special characters like |

      package_list_name_regex    => "([^\s]+)-.*";
      package_list_version_regex => "[^\s]+-([^\s]+).*";

      package_name_regex    => "([^\s]+)-.*";
      package_version_regex => "[^\s]+-([^\s]+).*";

      package_installed_regex => ".*";

      package_name_convention => "$(name)-$(version)";

      package_add_command => "/usr/sbin/pkg install -y";
      package_delete_command => "/usr/sbin/pkg delete -y";
}

freebsd_portmaster

Prototype: freebsd_portmaster

Description: FreeBSD portmaster package installation method

This package method interacts with portmaster to build and install packages.

Note that you must use the complete package name as it appears in /usr/ports/*/name, such as 'perl5.14' rather than 'perl5'. Repositories are hard-coded to /usr/ports; alternate locations are unsupported at this time. This method supports both pkg_* and pkgng systems.

Example:

packages:
  "perl5.14"
    package_policy   =>  "add",
    package_method   =>  freebsd_portmaster;

Implementation:

body package_method freebsd_portmaster
{
      package_changes => "individual";

      package_list_command => "/usr/sbin/pkg info";

      package_list_name_regex    => "([^\s]+)-.*";
      package_list_version_regex => "[^\s]+-([^\s]+).*";

      package_installed_regex => ".*";

      package_name_convention => "$(name)";
      package_delete_convention => "$(name)-$(version)";

      package_file_repositories => {
                                     "/usr/ports/accessibility/",
