NAME

       cdist-type__package_pkgng_freebsd - Manage FreeBSD packages with pkg-ng

DESCRIPTION

       This type is usually used on FreeBSD to manage packages.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       None

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       name   If supplied, use the name and not the object id as the package name.

       flavor If supplied, use to avoid ambiguity.

       version
              If supplied, use to install a specific version of the package named.

       repo   If supplied, use to install the package named from a particular repo.

       state  Either "present" or "absent", defaults to "present"

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

       upgrade
              If supplied, allow upgrading to the latest version of a package.

CAVEATS

       This  type  requires that repository definitions already exist in /etc/pkg/*.conf.  Ensure
       that they exist prior to use of this type with __file.

       pkg-ng can't upgrade a package to a specific version. If this  type  needs  to  upgrade  a
       package,  it  can only ugprade to the latest available version. If the "upgrade" parameter
       is not given and an upgrade needs to occur, an error will result.

       upgrade
              The package was upgraded
