5.0 quality score

We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

Please note, the information below
is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

Overview

Manage and apply diff files on original files using the patch command.

Usage

  • Install patch with package settings; this itself doesn't do much. To apply patches, you have to use patch::file.
class { 'patch': }
  • Apply diff referenced by a file on a given original file
patch::file { '/path/to/file':
  diff_source => '/path/to/diff',
}
  • Apply inline diff on a given original file
patch::file { '/path/to/file':
  diff_content => '<inline-diff>',
}
  • Apply two diff files in a particular order on the same original file
$target = '/path/to/file'
patch::file { 'first-patch':
  target      => $target,
  prefix      => '0001',
  diff_source => '/path/to/0001.diff',
}
patch::file { 'second-patch':
  target      => $target,
  prefix      => '0002',
  diff_source => '/path/to/0002.diff',
  require     => Patch::File['first-patch'],
}
  • Apply diff to a directory
patch::directory { '/path/to/target/directory':
  diff_source => '/path/to/diff',
  strip => 2,
}

Development

This project uses rspec-puppet and beaker to ensure the module works as expected and to prevent regressions.

gem install bundler
bundle install --path vendor

bundle exec rake spec
bundle exec rake beaker

(note: see Beaker - Supported ENV variables for a list of environment variables to control the default behaviour of Beaker)
