Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
cache_valid_time
integer
Time in seconds to invalidate grimoire collection on update
especially useful for SCM and rsync grimoires
makes sense only in pair with update_cache
depends
string
Comma-separated list of _optional_ dependencies to build a spell (or make sure it is built) with; use +/- in front of dependency to turn it on/off ('+' is optional though)
this option is ignored if name parameter is equal to '*' or contains more than one spell
providers must be supplied in the form recognized by Sorcery, e.g. 'openssl(SSL)'
name
list / elements=string
Name of the spell
multiple names can be given, separated by commas
special value '*' in conjunction with states latest or rebuild will update or rebuild the whole system respectively

aliases: spell
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • latest
  • absent
  • cast
  • dispelled
  • rebuild
Whether to cast, dispel or rebuild a package
state cast is an equivalent of present, not latest
state latest always triggers update_cache=yes
state rebuild implies cast of all specified spells, not only those existed before
update
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not to update sorcery scripts at the very first stage
update_cache
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not to update grimoire collection before casting spells

aliases: update_codex

Notes

Note

  • When all three components are selected, the update goes by the sequence – Sorcery -> Grimoire(s) -> Spell(s); you cannot override it.
  • grimoire handling (i.e. add/remove, including SCM/rsync versions) is not yet supported.
