Hey, I'd like to ask you guys with some more experience how you're handling the Debian package management. At the moment I have a solution that works at least partially, but I think it could be better somehow ;)
In my cfagent.conf and its include files I have set up stuff like this:
control:
any::
DefaultPkgMgr = ( dpkg )
actionsequence = ( packages directories files copy editfiles
shellcommands tidy processes )
installpackage = ( "$(workdir)/inputs/packages/install-package" )
...
packages:
any::
joe
version=3.1 cmp=lt
define=pkg_install_joe,aptget_update
shellcommands:
aptget_update::
"/usr/bin/apt-get update"
pkg_install_joe::
"$(installpackage) joe"
The idea in this case is that if the editor 'joe' is not installed or
too old then first apt-get should update its list of packages and then
that package will be installed.
The install-package script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
/usr/bin/yes '' | /usr/bin/apt-get install -y "$@"
as in "install that package with its default options". This did work
rather well with joe, but I ran into some problems with another package
and its config files. Therefore I'd like some input on how you are doing
package management.
Thanks :)
Moritz
