xbps Facts¶

See also: operations/xbps.

xbps.XbpsPackages¶

host.get_fact(XbpsPackages)

Returns a dict of installed XBPS packages:

{
    "package_name": ["version"],
}

xbps.XbpsSelfUpdate¶

host.get_fact(XbpsSelfUpdate)

Returns the packages XBPS would update to update itself, empty if xbps is up to date:

["xbps-triggers-0.128_1", "xbps-0.60.5_1"]

XBPS refuses to install or update any other package until it has updated itself, failing with "The 'xbps' package must be updated". This reads the locally synced repository index, so it can only see a new xbps after xbps-install -S has run.
