No, that won't install the packages in any specific order. There are no
explicit or implicit dependencies between apckages in your example, but
in my case I want each package to explicitly depend on its predecessor
in the array.
How about this:
define pkglist_helper()
{
$pkg = inline_template('<%= name.split(";")[0] -%>')
$next = inline_template('<%= name.split(";")[1] or "" -%>')
if $next != "" {
package {
$pkg:
ensure => installed,
before => Package[$next];
}
} else {
package {
$pkg:
ensure => installed;
}
}
}
define packagelist($packages)
{
$foo = inline_template(
'<% lst = []; 0.upto(packages.length - 1) { |i|
lst << packages[i] + ";" + (packages[i+1] or "");
} -%><%=
lst.join("|") -%>')
$bar = split($foo, "[|]")
pkglist_helper {
$bar: ;
}
}
Use it like this:
packagelist {
some-packages--title-does-not-matter:
packages => [ "foo", "bar", "gazonk", "del", "xyzzy" ];
}
I have only tested it very briefly (using notify instead of
package), but it seemed to work.
