CDIST-TYPE__PACKAGE_PKG_OPENBSD(7)

💖 cdist-type__package_pkg_openbsd(7) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the cdist-type__package_pkg page — this is a section 7 manual, and it's your little group chat with OpenBSD packages. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__package_pkg — Manage OpenBSD packages

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, this type is usually used on OpenBSD to manage packages. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "package management but make it cdist." 💅

🎀 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🎀

None. not a single one. she's low maintenance, she's independent, she needs nothing from you. iconic. ✨

🦋 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🦋

• name — if you supply this, she uses that name and not the object id as the package name. like, you get to pick. main character move.
• flavor — if you supply this, it's used to avoid ambiguity. no confusing the girlies. 💜
• version — if you supply this, it's used to avoid ambiguity. same energy, different axis. 🍓
• state — either "present" or "absent", and it defaults to "present". those are the only two options, so don't get creative. 😭
• pkg_path — manually specify a PKG_PATH to add packages from. you're picking the mirror yourself, bestie. 🌈

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

the real ones. copy these exactly, no cap:

# Ensure zsh is installed
__package_pkg_openbsd zsh --state present

# Ensure vim is installed, use flavor no_x11
__package_pkg_openbsd vim --state present --flavor no_x11

# If you don't want to follow pythonX packages, but always use python
__package_pkg_openbsd python --state present --name python2

# Remove obsolete package
__package_pkg_openbsd puppet --state absent

# Add a package using a particular mirror
__package_pkg_openbsd bash \
  --pkg_path http://openbsd.mirrorcatalogs.com/snapshots/packages/amd64

see? --state present to install, --state absent to yeet it into the void, --flavor when you need to be specific, --name when you're redirecting to a different package name, and --pkg_path when you're feeling particular about your mirror. obsessed. 🧚
