Puppet

Code is at: http://github.com/jamtur01/puppet/tree/gentoo_provider

I’ll see if I can get some time to test this, cause frankly eix is a pita to deal with.

I’d love to see this go in 0.25

This will only make it into 0.25 if it’s tested to be correct.

What’s the design decision to make here? Is the code ready?

So this doesn’t work for me.

Prep:

emerge -C colordiff

puppet code:

package { “colordiff”: category => “app-misc” }

yields:

debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPortage: Executing ‘/usr/bin/equery -C l app-misc/colordiff’ err: //Node[boaz.nexus]/colordiff/Package[colordiff]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No package found with the specified name [app-misc/colordiff]

With those options to equery it only looks at installed applications, you also need -p (portage tree) and -o (any overlays). I modified the patch but still don’t see it installing my package:

debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPortage: Executing ‘/usr/bin/equery -C l -o -p colordiff’ debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPortage: Executing ‘/usr/bin/emerge —nodeps -p app-misc/colordiff’

I’m not sure what else needs to be done to get that working.

Also, my ruby version complained about the two equry lines (17 and 93), it wanted more ()’s for equery.

I think eix should stay as option at least, equery cause a huge performance hit.

You can see more difference on servers with high disk I/O load when porage tree is not cached.
