Synopsis

This module installs, updates and removes packages from the OpenCSW project for Solaris.
Unlike the community.general.svr4pkg module, it will resolve and download dependencies.
See https://www.opencsw.org/ for more information about the project.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
force boolean added in 1.2.0 of community.general	no ← yes	To allow the update process to downgrade packages to match what is present in the repository, set this to `yes`. This is useful for rolling back to stable from testing, or similar operations.
name list / elements=string / required		The name of the package. When using `state=latest`, this can be `'*'`, which updates all installed packages managed by pkgutil. aliases: pkg
site string		The repository path to install the package from. Its global definition is in `/etc/opt/csw/pkgutil.conf`.
state string / required	absent installed latest present removed	Whether to install (`present`/`installed`), or remove (`absent`/`removed`) packages. The upgrade (`latest`) operation will update/install the packages to the latest version available.
update_catalog boolean	no ← yes	If you always want to refresh your catalog from the mirror, even when it's not stale, set this to `yes`.

Notes

Note

In order to check the availability of packages, the catalog cache under /var/opt/csw/pkgutil may be refreshed even in check mode.
