PDI aditions

Besides some actual patching to pkgin module itself, there is a payload directory with some other modules. This is due to the solaris module dissapeared from puppetforge and to the fact that we have decided to create a single package with all the SmartOS related modules and this is the easiest way to to it. To actually build the package, you must clone on a directory named pkgin, and from the same level where this directory lives run

pkg_create \
    -c pkgin/pkgbuild/summary -d pkgin/pkgbuild/description \
    -B pkgin/pkgbuild/buildinfo -f pkgin/pkgbuild/packinlist \
    -I /etc/puppet/modules is-puppet.tgz

Puppet pkgin Module

This is a Puppet module to install and uninstall packages using pkgin, a binary package manager for pkgsrc as used by Joyent SmartMachines by enabling a provider for the standard package resource type.

Installation

The latest stable release can be downloaded from the Puppet Module Forge: mudge/pkgin

Using the puppet-module gem, this is as simple as:

$ cd /opt/local/etc/puppet/modules
# puppet-module install mudge/pkgin
Installed "mudge-pkgin-0.0.1" into directory: pkgin

(Assuming /opt/local/etc/puppet/modules is in your modulepath.)

Usage

package { 'vim':
  ensure   => present,
  provider => pkgin,
}

package { 'emacs':
  ensure   => absent,
  provider => pkgin,
}

If using the Service Management Facility (SMF) to run puppet agent (or puppetd), ensure that the pkgin binary is in your PATH with something like the following:

<exec_method name='start' type='method'
    exec='/opt/local/bin/puppet agent --config %{config_file}' timeout_seconds='60'>
  <method_context>
    <method_environment>
      <envvar name='PATH' value='/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin'/>
    </method_environment>
  </method_context>
</exec_method>
<property_group name='application' type='application'>
  <propval name='config_file' type='astring' value='/opt/local/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'/>
</property_group>

Features

At the moment, this provider only has two of the standard Puppet package provider features:

installable: The provider can install packages.
uninstallable: The provider can uninstall packages.
