I have some software with a list of patches that need to be installed in
order. Different hosts want different patches (e.g. development hosts
get patches that are not yet ready for production).
Obviously I can do this:
package { "basepackage":
ensure => present,
}
package { "patch1":
ensure => present,
require => Package["basepackage"],
package { "patch2":
ensure => present,
require => Package["patch1"],
}
package { "patch3":
ensure => present,
require => Package["patch2"],
}
but I'd like to do something like this:
$package_list => ["basepackage", "patch1", "patch2", "patch3"]
# The above value would actually come from extlookup()
install_packages_in_order { "title":
package_list => $package_list
}
define install_packages_in_order($package_list) {
...insert code here...
}
or with alternating package names and version numbers:
$package_list = ["basepackage", "1.2.3",
"patch1", "1.2.3.0.1",
"patch2", "1.2.3.0.2",
"patch3", "1.2.3.0.3"]
I think I can make this work using some ugly code inside
inline_template, or maybe writing my own parser functions,
but does anybody have any easier suggestions?
