Hi,
Just getting started with cfengine. I am trying to verify that a
certain package is installed (rpm on a SLES9 system), and if it’s not,
install it from an rpm file stored in /usr/src/packages/RPMS. From my
understanding of the documentation, package_file_repositories in the
package_method body should do this:
package_file_repositories => { “/usr/src/packages/RPMS” };
However, this is doing nothing – cfengine is still trying to execute
the rpm command with the plain package specifier, without preceding it
by the appropriate path. Doing a simple search through the source
code, it seems the code to read package_file_repositories is there,
but there is no code that seems to _do_ something with it:
./attributes.c:p.package_file_repositories =
GetListConstraint("package_file_repositories",pp);
./cf3.defs.h: struct Rlist *package_file_repositories;
./verify_packages.c:if (a.packages.package_list_command == NULL &&
a.packages.package_file_repositories == NULL)
./mod_packages.c: {"package_file_repositories",cf_slist,"","A list
of machine-local directories to search for packages"},
Is this option currently not implemented? Am I doing something wrong?
I am using 3.0.3 community version.
As a workaround, I tried specifying the directory in package_add_command, i.e.
package_add_command => "/bin/rpm -i /usr/src/packages/RPMS/";
but cfengine seems to add a space automatically after the command, so
it also does not work.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much,
--Diego
ps. For completeness, here’s the example I am trying to run. The file
SysInfo-2.20.11.noarch.rpm is stored in /usr/src/packages/RPMS. Below
is the output I get.
