cdist-type__package_zypper — manage packages with zypper, no cap 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🎀 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 🎀

None. Zero. Nada. She asks for nothing, she gives everything 👑

🦋 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🦋

• name — if you supply it, she uses name as the package name instead of the object id. like, your object id said one thing but you want the package to be called something else, iykyk.
• state — either "present" or "absent", and it defaults to "present" 🌈.
• version — the version of the package to install. default is to install whatever version your local package manager picked out (main character energy, honestly). wanna see the options? go peek at the output of zypper se -s packagename — fr fr, that's where the list lives.
• ptype — either "package", "patch", "pattern", "product" or "srcpackage", defaults to "package". for a description, go read man zypper bestie, that's the source 🍓.
