Attributes

macports::default

Key	Type	Description	Default
['macports']['url']	String	where to retrieve either the DMG or PKG for MacPorts	depends on platform_version
['macports']['checksum']	String	checksum for foregoing package

Usage

macports::default

The default recipe will install MacPorts, either using a DMG package (for Mac OS X =< 10.4) or a PKG (for Mac OS X >= 10.5).

To actually use MacPorts, you will need to run /opt/local/bin/port selfupdate to download the latest version of the MacPorts database.

Once MacPorts is installed on a system, Chef's built-in package resource can be used; however, you must ensure that /opt/local/bin is in Chef's path. This can be accomplished with a directive such as

ENV['PATH'] += ':/opt/local/bin'

in Chef's client.rb.
