Using vcsrepo with Perforce =========================== To create an empty Workspace ---------------------------- Define a `vcsrepo` without a `source` or `revision`: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4 } If no `p4client` name is provided a workspace generated name is calculated based on the Digest of path. For example: puppet-91bc00640c4e5a17787286acbe2c021c Providing a `p4client` name will create/update the client workspace in Perforce. vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4 p4client => "my_client_ws" } To create/update and sync a Perforce workspace ---------------------------------------------- To sync a depot path to head (latest): vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4, source => '//depot/branch/...' } For a specific changelist, use `revision`: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4, source => '//depot/branch/...', revision => '2341' } You can also set `revision` to a label: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4, source => '//depot/branch/...', revision => 'my_label' } Check out as a user by setting `p4user`: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4, source => '//depot/branch/...', p4user => 'user' } You can set `p4port` to specify a Perforce server: vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4, source => '//depot/branch/...', p4port => 'ssl:perforce.com:1666' } You can set `p4passwd` for authentication : vcsrepo { "/path/to/repo": ensure => present, provider => p4, source => '//depot/branch/...', p4port => 'ssl:perforce.com:1666' } If `p4port`, `p4user`, `p4charset`, `p4passwd` or `p4client` are specified they will override the environment variabels P4PORT, P4USER, etc... If a P4CONFIG file is defined, the config file settings will take precedence. More Examples ------------- For examples you can run, see `examples/p4/`
