salt.modules.ebuild

Support for Portage

optdepends:
  • portage Python adapter

For now all package names MUST include the package category, i.e. 'vim' will not work, 'app-editors/vim' will.

salt.modules.ebuild.check_db(*names, **kwargs)

New in version 0.17.0.

Returns a dict containing the following information for each specified package:

  1. A key found, which will be a boolean value denoting if a match was found in the package database.
  2. If found is False, then a second key called suggestions will be present, which will contain a list of possible matches. This list will be empty if the package name was specified in category/pkgname format, since the suggestions are only intended to disambiguate ambiguous package names (ones submitted without a category).

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.check_db <package1> <package2> <package3>
salt.modules.ebuild.check_extra_requirements(pkgname, pkgver)

Check if the installed package already has the given requirements.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.check_extra_requirements 'sys-devel/gcc' '~>4.1.2:4.1::gentoo[nls,fortran]'
salt.modules.ebuild.depclean(name=None, slot=None, fromrepo=None, pkgs=None)

Portage has a function to remove unused dependencies. If a package is provided, it will only removed the package if no other package depends on it.

name
The name of the package to be cleaned.
slot
Restrict the remove to a specific slot. Ignored if name is None.
fromrepo
Restrict the remove to a specific slot. Ignored if name is None.
pkgs
Clean multiple packages. slot and fromrepo arguments are ignored if this argument is present. Must be passed as a python list.

Return a list containing the removed packages:

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.depclean <package name>
salt.modules.ebuild.ex_mod_init(low)

If the config option ebuild.enforce_nice_config is set to True, this module will enforce a nice tree structure for /etc/portage/package.* configuration files.

New in version 0.17.0: Initial automatic enforcement added when pkg is used on a Gentoo system.

Changed in version 2014.1.0-Hydrogen: Configure option added to make this behaviour optional, defaulting to off.

See also

ebuild.ex_mod_init is called automatically when a state invokes a pkg state on a Gentoo system. salt.states.pkg.mod_init()

ebuild.ex_mod_init uses portage_config.enforce_nice_config to do the lifting. salt.modules.portage_config.enforce_nice_config()

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.ex_mod_init
salt.modules.ebuild.install(name=None, refresh=False, pkgs=None, sources=None, slot=None, fromrepo=None, uses=None, binhost=None, **kwargs)

Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to sync the portage tree before package is installed.

name

The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this option can only be used to emerge a package from the portage tree. To install a tbz2 package manually, use the "sources" option described below.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install <package name>
refresh
Whether or not to sync the portage tree before installing.
version
Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.0.9-r1. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.
slot

Similar to version, but specifies a valid slot to be installed. It will install the latest available version in the specified slot. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" or "version" is passed.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install sys-devel/gcc slot='4.4'
fromrepo

Similar to slot, but specifies the repository from the package will be installed. It will install the latest available version in the specified repository. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" or "version" is passed.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install salt fromrepo='gentoo'
uses

Similar to slot, but specifies a list of use flag. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" or "version" is passed.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install sys-devel/gcc uses='["nptl","-nossp"]'

Multiple Package Installation Options:

pkgs

A list of packages to install from the portage tree. Must be passed as a python list.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo","bar","~category/package:slot::repository[use]"]'
sources

A list of tbz2 packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local path to the package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.tbz2"},{"bar": "salt://bar.tbz2"}]'
binhost
has two options try and force. try - tells emerge to try and install the package from a configured binhost. force - forces emerge to install the package from a binhost otherwise it fails out.

Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
               'new': '<new-version>'}}
salt.modules.ebuild.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)

Return the latest version of the named package available for upgrade or installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.

If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will be returned for that package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
salt.modules.ebuild.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)

salt.modules.ebuild.list_upgrades(refresh=True, backtrack=3)

List all available package upgrades.

refresh
Whether or not to sync the portage tree before checking for upgrades.
backtrack

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades
salt.modules.ebuild.porttree_matches(name)

Returns a list containing the matches for a given package name from the portage tree. Note that the specific version of the package will not be provided for packages that have several versions in the portage tree, but rather the name of the package (i.e. "dev-python/paramiko").

salt.modules.ebuild.purge(name=None, slot=None, fromrepo=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)
