Collection of tasks for interacting with system package managers.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- [Robo](http://robo.li/) ~0.5 (0.5.0 or higher)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add the `falc/robo-system-package` package to your `composer.json`:

```
composer require falc/robo-system-package

```

Add the `Falc\Robo\Package\loadTasks` trait to your `RoboFile`:

```
class RoboFile extends \Robo\Tasks
{
    use Falc\Robo\Package\loadTasks;

    // ...
}
```

Tasks
-----

[](#tasks)

### Install

[](#install)

Installing a single package:

```
$this->taskPackageInstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->package('package1')
    ->run();
```

Installing many packages:

```
$this->taskPackageInstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->packages(['package1', 'package2'])
    ->run();
```

Compact form:

```
$this->taskPackageInstall('yum', ['package1', 'package2'])->run();
```

It allows to specify packages conditionally:

```
$install = $this->taskPackageInstall('yum', ['package1']);

if ($requiresPackage2) {
    $install->package('package2');
}

$install->run();
```

It is possible to specify a pattern:

```
$this->taskPackageInstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->package('package1-*') // Installs all packages starting with "package1-"
    ->run();
```

You can combine it with `taskSshExec()` to install packages in a remote server:

```
$installTask = $this->taskPackageInstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->packages(['package1', 'package2']);

$this->taskSshExec('remote.example.com')
    ->remoteDir('/home/user')
    ->printed(false) // Do not display output
    ->exec($installTask)
    ->run();
```

### Uninstall

[](#uninstall)

Uninstalling a single package:

```
$this->taskPackageUninstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->package('package1')
    ->run();
```

Uninstalling many packages:

```
$this->taskPackageUninstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->packages(['package1', 'package2'])
    ->run();
```

Compact form:

```
$this->taskPackageUninstall('yum', ['package1', 'package2'])->run();
```

It is possible to specify a pattern:

```
$this->taskPackageUninstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->package('package1-*') // Uninstalls all packages starting with "package1-"
    ->run();
```

You can combine it with `taskSshExec()` to uninstall packages from a remote server:

```
$uninstallTask = $this->taskPackageUninstall()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->packages(['package1', 'package2']);

$this->taskSshExec('remote.example.com')
    ->remoteDir('/home/user')
    ->printed(false) // Do not display output
    ->exec($uninstallTask)
    ->run();
```

### Update

[](#update)

Updating a single package:

```
$this->taskPackageUpdate()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->package('package1')
    ->run();
```

Updating many packages:

```
$this->taskPackageUpdate()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->packages(['package1', 'package2'])
    ->run();
```

Do not specify any package in order to perform a full update:

```
$this->taskPackageUpdate()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->run();
```

Compact form:

```
// Update some packages
$this->taskPackageUpdate('yum', ['package1', 'package2'])->run();

// Update everything
$this->taskPackageUpdate('yum')->run();
```

It is possible to specify a pattern:

```
$this->taskPackageUpdate()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->package('package1-*') // Updates all packages starting with "package1-"
    ->run();
```

You can combine it with `taskSshExec()` to update packages in a remote server:

```
$updateTask = $this->taskPackageUpdate()
    ->packageManager('yum')
    ->packages(['package1', 'package2']);

$this->taskSshExec('remote.example.com')
    ->remoteDir('/home/user')
    ->printed(false) // Do not display output
    ->exec($updateTask)
    ->run();
```

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

All the tasks implement these methods:

- `packageManager($packageManager)`: Sets the package manager to use.
- `package()`: Adds a package to the package list.
- `packages()`: Adds packages to the package list.
- `verbose()`: Enables the verbose mode.

Package managers
----------------

[](#package-managers)

Every task requires to set a package manager either in the constructor or using the `packageManager($packageManager)` method.

At the moment these are the supported package managers:

- [apt](https://wiki.debian.org/Apt)
- [dnf](http://dnf.readthedocs.org/)
- [pacman](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman)
- [yum](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Yum)
