💅 cdist-type__package_emerge 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to cdist-type__package_emerge — it's a cdist type (section 7 of the manual, iykyk) and it's literally here to Manage packages with portage 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__package_emerge — manage packages with portage, fr fr 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, Portage is usually the whole vibe on the gentoo distribution when you wanna manage packages 👑 That's just how gentoo does.

But here's the tea, and I need you to hear me: this type requires app-portage/gentoolkit to be installed on the target host. No gentoolkit, no slay. 😭

And who's supposed to handle that? cdist-type__package_emerge_dependencies — that one is supposed to install the needed packages on the target host. It's the little helper holding your hand, periodt 🫶

🦋 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🦋

None ✨ — not a single one. You're free, you're unbothered, you're the main character. 💅

🎀 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

  • name — if you supply this, it uses the name instead of the object id as the package name. Lowkey handy when the object id isn't giving what you need. 💜
  • state — either "present" or "absent", and it defaults to "present". So if you say nothing, things get installed. That's the default, no cap. 🌈
  • version — if you supply this, it's used to install or uninstall a specific version of the package you named. Very specific, very demure, very that girl. ⭐

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

okay these are the actual moves, copy them exactly bestie:

# Ensure sys-devel/gcc is installed
__package_emerge sys-devel/gcc --state present

# If you want a specific version of a package
__package_emerge app-portage/gentoolkit --state present --version 0.3.0.8-r2

# Remove package
__package_emerge sys-devel/gcc --state absent

See? Install it, pin it to a version, or yeet it into the void. All three moods, all valid. 🔥
