Usage
Usage:
require 'raptget'
include Raptget
packages = ['iagno', 'gnome-games']
aptget = Aptget.new
aptget.download_only = true # See options
aptget.install(packages)
Options:
aptget = Aptget.new
# Download only; package files are only retrieved,
# not unpacked or installed.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Download-Only.
#
aptget.download_only = true
#
# Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies
# in place. This option, when used with install/remove,
# can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution.
# Any Package that are specified must completely correct the problem.
# The option is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time;
# APT itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist
# on a system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be
# so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means using
# dselect or 'remove' to eliminate some of the offending packages).
# Use of this option together with 'fix_missing' may produce
# an error in some situations.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.
#
aptget.fix_broken = true
#
# Ignore missing packages; If packages cannot be retrieved or fail the
# integrity check after retrieval (corrupted package files), hold back
# those packages and handle the result. Use of this option together
# with 'fix_broken' may produce an error in some
# situations. If a package is selected for installation
# (particularly if it is mentioned on the command line) and it could not be
# downloaded then it will be silently held back.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Missing.
#
aptget.fix_missing = true
#
# Alias to fix_missing
#
aptget.ignore_missing = true
#
# Disables downloading of packages.
# This is best used with ignore_missing to force APT
# to use only the .debs it has already downloaded.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Download.
#
aptget.no_download = true
#
# Quiet; produces output suitable for logging, omitting progress
# indicators. You can also use 'quiet=#' to set the quiet level,
# overriding the configuration file. Note that quiet level 2 implies 'yes',
# you should never use 'quiet=2' without a no-action modifier
# such as 'download_only', 'print_uris' or 'simulate' as APT may decided to
# do something you did not expect.
# Configuration Item: quiet.
#
aptget.quiet = true
#
# No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur
# but do not actually change the system.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate.
# Simulate prints out a series of lines each one representing a
# dpkg operation, Configure (Conf), Remove (Remv), Unpack (Inst).
# Square brackets indicate broken packages with and empty set of square
# brackets meaning breaks that are of no consequence (rare).
#
aptget.simulate = true
#
# Alias to simulate
#
aptget.just_print = true
#
# Alias to simulate
#
aptget.dry_run = true
#
# Alias to simulate
#
aptget.recon = true
#
# Alias to simulate
#
aptget.no_act = true
#
# Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all
# prompts and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation,
# such as changing a held package or removing an essential package
# occurs then apt-get will abort.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Assume-Yes.
#
aptget.assume_yes = true
#
# Alias to assume_yes
#
aptget.yes = true
#
# Show upgraded packages; Print out a list of all packages
# that are to be upgraded.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Upgraded.
#
aptget.show_upgraded = true
#
# Show full versions for upgraded and installed packages.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Show-Versions.
#
aptget.verbose_version = true
#
# Compile source packages after downloading them.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Compile.
#
aptget.build = true
#
# Alias to build
#
aptget.compile = true
#
# Also install recommended packages.
#
aptget.install_recommends = true
#
# Do not install recommended packages.
#
aptget.no_install_recommends = true
#
# Ignore package Holds; This causes apt-get to ignore a
# hold placed on a package.
# This may be useful in conjunction with dist-upgrade
# to override a large number of undesired holds.
# Configuration Item: APT::Ignore-Hold.
#
aptget.ignore_hold = true
#
# Do not upgrade packages; When used in conjunction with
# install no-upgrade will prevent packages listed from being
# upgraded if they are already installed.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Upgrade.
#
aptget.no_upgrade = true
#
# Force yes; This is a dangerous option that will cause
# apt to continue without prompting if it is doing something
# potentially harmful. It should not be used except in very special
# situations. Using 'force_yes' can potentially destroy your system!
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::force-yes.
#
aptget.force_yes = true
#
# Instead of fetching the files to install their URIs are printed.
# Each URI will have the path, the destination file name, the size
# and the expected md5 hash. Note that the file name to write to will
# not always match the file name on the remote site!
# This also works with the source and update commands.
# When used with the update command the MD5 and size are not included,
# and it is up to the user to decompress any compressed files.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Print-URIs.
#
aptget.print_uris = true
#
# Use purge instead of remove for anything that would be removed.
# An asterisk ("*") will be displayed next to packages which are
# scheduled to be purged.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Purge.
#
aptget.purge = true
#
# Re-Install packages that are already installed and at the
# newest version.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::ReInstall.
#
aptget.reinstall = true
#
# This option defaults to on, use 'no_list_cleanup' to turn it off.
# When on apt-get will automatically manage the contents of
# /var/lib/apt/lists to ensure that obsolete files are erased.
# The only reason to turn it off is if you frequently change your
# source list.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::List-Cleanup.
#
aptget.list_cleanup = true
#
# This option controls the default input to the policy engine,
# it creates a default pin at priority 990 using the specified
# release string. The preferences file may further override this setting.
# In short, this option lets you have simple control over which
# distribution packages will be retrieved from.
# Some common examples might be 'default_release = 2.1*' or
# 'default_release = unstable'.
# Configuration Item: APT::Default-Release;
#
aptget.default_release = true
#
# Alias to default_release
#
aptget.target_release = true
#
# Only perform operations that are 'trivial'. Logically this can
# be considered related to 'assume_yes', where 'assume_yes' will
# answer yes to any prompt, 'trivial_only' will answer no.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Trivial-Only.
#
aptget.trivial_only = true
#
# If any packages are to be removed apt-get immediately aborts
# without prompting.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Remove
#
aptget.no_remove = true
#
# If the command is either install or remove, then this option acts
# like running autoremove command, removing the unused dependency
# packages.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::AutomaticRemove.
#
aptget.auto_remove = true
#
# Only has meaning for the source command.
# Indicates that the given source names are not to be mapped
# through the binary table. This means that if this option is specified,
# the source command will only accept source package names as arguments,
# rather than accepting binary package names and looking up the
# corresponding source package.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Only-Source
#
aptget.only_source = true
#
# Download only the tar file of a source archive.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Tar-Only
#
aptget.tar_only = true
#
# Download only the dsc file of a source archive.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Dsc-Only
#
aptget.dsc_only = true
#
# Download only the diff file of a source archive.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Diff-Only
#
aptget.diff_only = true
#
# Ignore if packages can't be authenticated and don't prompt about
# it. This is useful for tools like pbuilder.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated.
#
aptget.allow_unauthenticated = true
#
# Only process architecture-dependent build-dependencies.
# Configuration Item: APT::Get::Arch-Only
#
aptget.arch_only = true
#
# Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use.
# The program will read the default configuration file and
# then this configuration file.
#
aptget.config_file = true
#
# Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary
# configuration option.
# The syntax is raptget.option = "Foo::Bar=bar"
#
aptget.option = true
#
# Disable sudo. If this is not set, sudo
# is used.
#
aptget.disable_sudo = true
