Manages “spells” on Source Mage GNU/Linux using sorcery toolchain

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

bash

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cache_valid_time integer		Time in seconds to invalidate grimoire collection on update especially useful for SCM and rsync grimoires makes sense only in pair with `update_cache`
depends string		Comma-separated list of _optional_ dependencies to build a spell (or make sure it is built) with; use +/- in front of dependency to turn it on/off ('+' is optional though) this option is ignored if `name` parameter is equal to '*' or contains more than one spell providers must be supplied in the form recognized by Sorcery, e.g. 'openssl(SSL)'
name list / elements=string		Name of the spell multiple names can be given, separated by commas special value '*' in conjunction with states `latest` or `rebuild` will update or rebuild the whole system respectively aliases: spell
state string	present ← latest absent cast dispelled rebuild	Whether to cast, dispel or rebuild a package state `cast` is an equivalent of `present`, not `latest` state `latest` always triggers `update_cache=yes` state `rebuild` implies cast of all specified spells, not only those existed before
update boolean	no ← yes	Whether or not to update sorcery scripts at the very first stage
update_cache boolean	no ← yes	Whether or not to update grimoire collection before casting spells aliases: update_codex

Notes

Note

When all three components are selected, the update goes by the sequence – Sorcery -> Grimoire(s) -> Spell(s); you cannot override it.
grimoire handling (i.e. add/remove, including SCM/rsync versions) is not yet supported.
