I imagine it could work something like this: # Download the ports index mkdir /tmp/ports-index cd /tmp/ports-index fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/INDEX.bz2 bunzip2 INDEX # Lookup package name from origin path pkgname=$(awk -F\| '{ if ($2 == "/usr/ports/databases/mysql51-server") print $1 }' INDEX) pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.1-release/All/${pkgname}.tbz Checking if the package was installed could be done with pkg_info -O: pkg_info -O databases/mysql51-server | tail -n+2 | grep -qc '$' && echo 'installed' || echo 'not installed' Then the resource definition would look like this: package { "mysql-server": name => $operatingsystem ? { FreeBSD => "databases/mysql51-server", default => "mysql-server", }, ensure => installed, } -- Russell A Jackson <r...@csub.edu> Network Analyst California State University, Bakersfield -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
