Ansible-Makepkg

ansible-makepkg is a module for Ansible that encapsulates the process of building and installing a package from Arch Linux's AUR or from a custom source tarball. It is modelled on the process taken by the Aura package manager building as the user, installing as root and leaving a copy of the package in the local package cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg/).

Usage

Installing

To use this module simply clone this repository into your library folder:

$ cd library/
$ git clone https://github.com/gunzy83/ansible-makepkg.git

Example Plays

- name: Ensure aurvote is installed
  makepkg:
    name: aurvote
	state: present

- name: Ensure custom-pkg is installed
  makepkg:
    name: /tmp/custom-pkg.src.tar.gz
    state: present

- name: Ensure aurvote is not installed (recursively remove dependencies)
  makepkg:
    name: aurvote
    state: absent
    recurse: true

- name: Ensure aurvote is installed as a dependency of another package
  makepkg:
    name: aurvote
    state: present
    as_deps: true

- name: Ensure aurvote is installed but built in a custom build directory
  makepkg: 
    name: aurvote
    state: present
    build_dir: "~/builds"

Future Plans

• Implement more options of makepkg and pacman (eg force)
• Submit to Ansible Extra Modules repository
