Pacman Puppet Module

Manage pacman configuration on archlinux

Module Description

This module can be used to configure the pacman.conf file on Archlinux

Setup

What pacman affects

  • pacman.conf
  • pacman repositories

Beginning with pacman

Just add manifest:

include pacman

Or if you want to change params you need to include the underlying modules:

class { 'pacman': }
class { 'pacman::repo': 'custom':
      description => "custom repo",
      siglevel => 'never',
      server => 'http://custom.example.com/$arch',
      order => '99',
    }

Usage

All interaction with the pacman module can be done through the main pacman class. except for adding extra repositories

I just want the default pacman.conf, what's the minimum I need?

include '::pacman'

I just want a pacman configuration with archlinux testing repo?

Testing repo needs to be above all other repos.

The default repos start with order number 10 so everything below is ok.

include '::pacman'
class 'pacman::repo': 'testing':
  include => '/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist',
  order => '09'

I just want a pacman configuration with a custom repo?

Custom repos needs to be below all other repos.

For that reason. custom repos use order number 99.

include '::pacman'
class 'pacman::repo': 'custom':
  siglevel = 'never',
  server => 'http://custom.example.com/$arch',
  order => '99'

My custom repository has a signing key that needs to be added

# Fetch the key from pool.sks-keyservers.net using hkp
pacman::key { 'mykey':
    keyid => '0x0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345678',
}

# Fetch the key from a URL on the web using curl
pacman::key { 'mykey':
    keyid => '0x0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345678',
    url   => 'http://www.example.com/my-pgp-key.asc',
}

# Fetch the key from a local file or puppet
pacman::key { 'mykey':
    keyid  => '0x0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF012345678',
    source => "puppet:///modules/$module_name/pgp/my-pgp-key.asc",
}
