logankoester / pacman

Development repository for Opscode Cookbook pacman

Adapted from https://github.com/jesseadams/pacman and forks by logankoester and illegalprime.

DESCRIPTION

Refreshes the pacman package cache from the FTP servers and provides LWRPs related to pacman

REQUIREMENTS

Platform: ArchLinux. Pacman is not relevant on other platforms.

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute	Default	Description
node['pacman']['build_dir']	/tmp/chef-pacman-builds	The default directory where AUR packages will be built.
node['pacman']['build_user']	nobody	The user that will build AUR packages.
node['pacman']['install_user']	root	The user that will install AUR and pacman packages.

RESOURCES

pacman_group

Use the pacman_group resource to install or remove pacman package groups. Note that at this time the LWRP will check if the group is installed but doesn't do a lot of error checking or handling. File a ticket on the COOK project at tickets.opscode.com for improvements and feature requests.

The options parameter can be used to pass arbitrary options to the pacman command.

pacman_aur

Use the pacman_aur resource to install packages from ArchLinux's AUR repository.

Actions:

• :install - Install deps, builds, then installs the AUR package.

Parameters:

• version - hardcode a version
• build_dir - specify an alternate build directory, defaults to node['pacman']['build_dir'] if set or /tmp/chef-pacman-builds.
• build_user - specify an alternate user to run build commands, defaults to node['pacman']['build_user'] if set or nobody.
• install_user - specify an alternate user to run install commands, defaults to node['pacman']['install_user'] if set or root.
• options - pass arbitrary options to the pacman command.
• pkgbuild_src - use a custom PKGBUILD file for the given packages. E.g. pkgbuild_src({ 'direnv' => 'direnv/PKGBUILD' }) where the custom file is located at $COOKBOOK/templates/direnv/PKBUILD
• gpg_key_ids - array of gpg key IDs to download prior to running makepkg. These keys should match the validpgpkeys array given in the PKGBUILD files.
• skippgpcheck - optional, pass the --skippgpcheck flag to makepkg

USAGE

Include recipe[pacman] early in the run list, preferably first, to ensure that the package caches are updated before trying to install new packages.
