Documentation

gentoo/portage — version 2.3.0 Jul 24th 2015

Puppet Gentoo Portage Module

Provides Gentoo Portage features for Puppet.

Travis Test status: Build Status

/etc/portage/package.*/*

package_use

package_use { 'app-admin/puppet':
  use     => ['flag1', 'flag2'],
  target  => 'puppet-flags',
  version => '>=3.0.1',
  ensure  => present,
}

use can be either a string or an array of strings.

package_keywords

package_keywords { 'app-admin/puppet':
  keywords => ['~x86', '-hppa'],
  target   => 'puppet',
  version  => '>=3.0.1',
  ensure   => present,
}

keywords can be either a string or an array of strings.

package_unmask

package_unmask { 'app-admin/puppet':
  target  => 'puppet',
  version => '>=3.0.1',
  ensure  => present,
}

package_mask

package_mask { 'app-admin/puppet':
  target  => 'tree',
  version => '>=3.0.1',
  ensure  => present,
}

package_env

package_env { 'www-client/firefox':
  env     => 'no-lto',
  target  => 'firefox',
  version => '>=20.0',
  ensure  => present,
}

env can be either a string or an array of strings.

make.conf

The default location of make.conf is /etc/portage/make.conf If you want to change it, you should do the following:

class { 'portage':
  make_conf = '/etc/make.conf',
}

In order to add entries to make.conf:

portage::makeconf { 'portdir_overlay':
  content => '/var/lib/layman',
  ensure  => present,
}
portage::makeconf { 'use':
  content => ['flag1', 'flag2'],
  ensure  => present,
}

Changes in make.conf will also trigger re-emerge of the affected packages. You can disable this behaviour by setting make_conf_remerge to false.

You can also specify special content:

portage::makeconf { 'source /var/lib/layman/make.conf': }

portage::package

This module provides a wrapper to the native package type:

portage::package { 'app-admin/puppet':
  use              => ['-minimal', 'augeas'],
  use_version      => '>=3.0.1',
  keywords         => ['~amd64', '~x86'],
  keywords_version => '>=3.0.1',
  mask_version     => '<=2.3.17',
  unmask_version   => '>=3.0.1',
  target           => 'puppet',
  keywords_target  => 'puppet-keywords',
  ensure           => '3.0.1',
}

If no {keywords,use,mask,unmask}\_target is specified, then the value of target is being used. The variables keywords, mask and unmask also accept the special value all, that will create versionless entries. (This applies only to portage::package, if you want versionless entries in any of the above package\_\* types, you can just omit the version attribute.) Any change in portage::package will also trigger the appropriate re-emerge to the affected package.

facts

All make.conf variables and most of the eselect modules are shown by facter

eselect

The eselect type/provider checks for the current state of an eselect module (or gcc-config) by reading the currently selected value.

eselect { 'ruby':
  set => 'ruby19',
}

Some eselect modules have special options or submodules:

eselect { 'python::python2':
  set => 'python2.7',
}

eselect { 'php::apache2':
  set => 'php5.3',
}

webapp

The webapp type/provider can be used to manage webapps via webapp-config.

webapp { 'www.example.org::/app':
  appname    => 'django',
  appversion => '1.4.5',
  server     => 'nginx',
  user       => 'nginx',
  group      => 'nginx',
  secure     => 'yes',
}

layman

The layman type/provider can be used to manage overlays via layman.

layman { 'x11':
  ensure => present,
}

Custom overlay list can be used via overlay_list parameter.

layman { 'custom-overlay':
  ensure => present,
  overlay_list => 'https://some.xml.file.somethere',
}

Installation of Gentoo tools

This module can also handle the installation of various Gentoo tools.

class { 'portage':
  portage_ensure => '2.2.6',
  eix_ensure     => '0.29.4',
  eix_keywords   => ['~amd64', '~x86'],
}

See manifests/init.pp for all the available tools that can be defined. (It is recommended to use hiera in order to define the values)
