The package provider that matured in this repository has been merged upstream into the core Puppet package providers. As of puppet 4.1, you can enjoy the fruits of the pkgng provider without this module. This module now remains to manage pkg.conf, extra package repositories etc.
If you are looking to build your own PkgNG packages, you may also want to look at the poudriere module.
To use the 1.x or newer version of this module, ensure that you are running
Puppet 4.1 or higher. Any of the pkgng_*
facts that were employed outside of
this repository should be re-evaluated. Those facts are no longer distributed
with this module.
If you are using a Package override to specify that pkgng should be used as the provider, this should no longer be required as the pkgng provider is now the default for FreeBSD.
The latest release of this module to contain the package provider is 0.4.0
.
The easiest way to install is to install from the forge.
puppet module install puppet/pkgng
Then to configure your system to use PkgNG with all default settings, a simple include will do.
include pkgng
You may wish to override settings though, to do this simply use it as a class:
class { 'pkgng':
purge_repos_d => false,
options => [
'PKG_ENV : {',
' http_proxy: "http://proxy:3128"',
'}',
],
}
By default, this module will erase user-defined repository not managed by Puppet.
To disable this behaviour you can use the example above of
setting purge_repos_d
to false.
Disabling the FreeBSD default repository is done with:
pkgng::repo { 'FreeBSD':
enabled => false,
}
Using specific repositories is as simple as a Puppet resource.
pkgng::repo { 'pkg.freebsd.org': } # You'll want this one!
pkgng::repo { 'my.own.repo': } # You can then specify more...
Installation via R10K
You can also clone this repo to somewhere in your modulepath, or use something like r10k to deploy your modules. R10k is sweet. For those not familiar, check out Finch's blog post on the subject of module deployment.
To track the git repository, a line in your Puppetfile that looks something like the following should get you started.
mod 'pkgng', :git => 'git://github.com/xaque208/puppet-pkgng.git', :ref => '1.0.0'
Installation via Librarian-Puppet
Installation via Librarian-Puppet is straight forward, simply add the
following to your Puppetfile
mod 'zleslie/pkgng'
Once the module is installed, you can simply install package resources.
package { 'curl': }
With multiple repositories defined, a package can be installed from a specific repo by giving a URN locator for that repository like this.
pkgng::repo { 'my.own.repo': }
package { 'puppet':
source => 'urn:freebsd:repo:my.own.repo',
}
If you have multiple repos providing the same package you can prefer one repo over the other by increasing the priority. The default priority is 0 and higher priorities are preferred.
pkgng::repo { 'pkg.freebsd.org': }
pkgng::repo { 'my.own.repo':
priority => 10,
}
package {'curl': }
With the above config if the 'curl' package exists in both repositories it would be installed from my.own.repo
Please help make this module better. Send pull request, file issues, be mindful of the tests and help improve where you can.
For any provider changes, please submit those directly to core Puppet.
Thanks to all contributors who helped mature the provider and helped it graduate from this module into core Puppet. Its maintenance will also require community attention.
