Puppet

Hi Doug! can you please try the following command (LASTVERSION has to be set in the ENV):

LASTVERSION="{last}{}" /usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --stable --format '  [] []  ' --exact --category-name sys-devel/gcc-config

Thanks, I definitely missed that part when I was looking at the code (I was trying to figure out what ‘version_format’ was doing ;).

That also makes the full “—installed” command work as described (both tried on eix 0.19.2).

Unfortunately puppet still thinks that files that are installed aren’t, but this seems to be only happening with my own overlay now (although it was previously happening for all packages).

Here’s some debug:

debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderPortage: Executing '/usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --stable --format   [] []  
 --exact --category-name bitleap-server/bitleaplibs'
err: //bitleapportage::bitleaplibs/Package[bitleaplibs]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No package found with the specified name [bitleap-server/bitleaplibs]
notice: //bitleapportage::php_modules/Package[php-modules]: Dependency package[bitleaplibs] has 1 failures
warning: //bitleapportage::php_modules/Package[php-modules]: Skipping because of failed dependencies

Here’s the command and output when I run this from the cli:

$ LASTVERSION="{last}{}" /usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --stable --format '  [] []  
> ' --exact --category-name bitleap-server/bitleaplibs
bitleap-server bitleaplibs [20071020-r7588] [20071020-r7588]  BitLeap C Libraries

For some background, I’m trying to upgrade my 0.24.8 puppetmaster to 0.25.4 and get things running on that host before I point all my 0.24.8 boxes to it and work on upgrading them.

I forgot, here’s the output of the “installed” command looking for the package mentioned:

$ LASTVERSION="{last}{}" /usr/bin/eix --nocolor --pure-packages --stable --installed --format '  [] []  
> ' | grep bitleaplibs
bitleap-server bitleaplibs [20071020-r7588] [20071020-r7588]  BitLeap C Libraries

With some extra debugging I was able to find the the ‘result_format’ regex wasn’t matching my vendor due to an extra space being picked up somewhere, for example, the search result:

bitleap-server bitleap-nagios-plugins [0.06] [0.06]  BitLeap custom nagios plugins

Doesn’t work because of the extra space before Bitleap.

Updating the result_format regex to the following for the time being fixes things up:

result_format = /^(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+\[(\S+)\]\s+\[(\S+)\]\s+(\S+)\s+(.*)$/

A proper patch will be coming shortly.
