MFD Package Manager

Module for managing packages, drivers, and modules across Linux, Windows, ESXi, and FreeBSD systems.

Usage

PackageManager contains internal factory which will automatically create object bases OSName of connection.

from mfd_package_manager import PackageManager
(...)

package_manager = PackageManager(connection=<mfd_connection_object>, controller_connection=<mfd_connection_object>)
# optional controller_connection if required
package_manager.is_module_loaded("i40e")

connection = <mfd_connection_object>
package_manager.make(targets="clean", cwd="/home/user/builds/Test_Build/96_31275/PROXGB/FREEBSD/ixv-1.5.33/src")
package_manager.make_clean(cwd=connection.path("/home/user/builds/Test_Build/96_31275/PROXGB/FREEBSD/ixv-1.5.33/src"))
