xbps Operations¶

Manage XBPS packages and repositories. Note that XBPS package names are case-sensitive.

Facts used in these operations: xbps.XbpsPackages, xbps.XbpsSelfUpdate.

xbps.packages¶

Install/remove/update XBPS packages.

xbps.packages(packages: 'str | list[str] | None' = None, present=True, update=False, upgrade=False,
         **kwargs,
    )

• packages: list of packages to ensure
• present: whether the packages should be installed
• update: run xbps-install -S before installing packages
• upgrade: run xbps-install -y -u before installing packages

If xbps itself has an update available it is updated before installing packages, as XBPS refuses to install anything else until it has.

Example:

from pyinfra.operations import xbps
xbps.packages(
    name="Install Vim and Vim Pager",
    packages=["vimpager", "vim"],
)

xbps.update¶

Update XBPS repositories.

xbps.update(**kwargs)

xbps.upgrade¶

Upgrades all XBPS packages, updating xbps itself first.

xbps.upgrade(**kwargs)
