`meta_package_manager.managers.fwupd` module¶

class meta_package_manager.managers.fwupd.FWUPD[source]¶

Bases: PackageManager

fwupd manages device firmware, treating each updatable device as a package.

Firmware inventory and updates come from the LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service). Each package is keyed by its fwupd DeviceId, carrying the device name and current firmware version. mpm drives fwupdmgr in JSON mode (get-devices --json, get-updates --json), which sets the version floor at 1.9.5: the first release to emit JSON for get-devices.

Note

installed and outdated report only devices carrying the updatable flag: fixed or unsupported hardware is skipped even though fwupdmgr still lists it.

Note

No search (firmware has no name catalog to query) and no remove (firmware cannot be uninstalled). Flashing is forced non-interactive: no confirmation prompt, no reboot check, no device-selection prompt.

Note

Escalation is polkit’s job, so no operation is marked sudo: fwupdmgr is an unprivileged client handing requests to the fwupd daemon over D-Bus, which authorizes firmware writes through polkit, like pkcon and flatpak. Under a strict polkit policy, unattended mutations need a rule permitting them without interactive authentication.

Initialize cli_errors list.

name: str = 'Linux fwupd'¶

Return package manager’s common name.

Default value is based on class name.

homepage_url: str | None = 'https://fwupd.org'¶: Home page of the project, only used in documentation for reference.

logo: str | None = 'linuxfoundation'¶

Slug of the brand mark standing for this manager in the documentation.

Names an SVG vendored under docs/assets/managers/, whose provenance and license are recorded in docs/assets/managers/logos.yaml. Inlined at the top of the manager’s page by meta_package_manager._docs; a manager leaving it unset keeps the page’s default package glyph.

Several managers legitimately share one slug, either because they wrap the same upstream (brew and cask) or because the tool has no mark of its own and its ecosystem’s stands in (apt under Debian’s swirl, cargo under Rust’s gear). Documentation-only, like homepage_url: no CLI output reads it.

platforms: frozenset[Platform] | Group | Platform | Iterable[Platform | Group] = frozenset({Platform(id='almalinux', name='AlmaLinux'), Platform(id='alpine', name='Alpine Linux'), Platform(id='altlinux', name='ALT Linux'), Platform(id='amzn', name='Amazon Linux'), Platform(id='android', name='Android'), Platform(id='arch', name='Arch Linux'), Platform(id='buildroot', name='Buildroot'), Platform(id='cachyos', name='CachyOS'), Platform(id='centos', name='CentOS'), Platform(id='chromeos', name='ChromeOS'), Platform(id='clearlinux', name='Clear Linux OS'), Platform(id='cloudlinux', name='CloudLinux OS'), Platform(id='debian', name='Debian'), Platform(id='endeavouros', name='EndeavourOS'), Platform(id='exherbo', name='Exherbo Linux'), Platform(id='fedora', name='Fedora'), Platform(id='generic_linux', name='Generic Linux'), Platform(id='gentoo', name='Gentoo Linux'), Platform(id='guix', name='Guix System'), Platform(id='ibm_powerkvm', name='IBM PowerKVM'), Platform(id='kali', name='Kali Linux'), Platform(id='kvmibm', name='KVM for IBM z Systems'), Platform(id='linuxmint', name='Linux Mint'), Platform(id='mageia', name='Mageia'), Platform(id='mandriva', name='Mandriva Linux'), Platform(id='manjaro', name='Manjaro Linux'), Platform(id='nixos', name='NixOS'), Platform(id='nobara', name='Nobara'), Platform(id='opensuse', name='openSUSE'), Platform(id='openwrt', name='OpenWrt'), Platform(id='oracle', name='Oracle Linux'), Platform(id='parallels', name='Parallels'), Platform(id='pidora', name='Pidora'), Platform(id='pikaos', name='PikaOS'), Platform(id='raspbian', name='Raspbian'), Platform(id='rhel', name='RedHat Enterprise Linux'), Platform(id='rocky', name='Rocky Linux'), Platform(id='scientific', name='Scientific Linux'), Platform(id='slackware', name='Slackware'), Platform(id='sles', name='SUSE Linux Enterprise Server'), Platform(id='slitaz', name='SliTaz GNU/Linux'), Platform(id='sourcemage', name='Source Mage GNU/Linux'), Platform(id='tuxedo', name='Tuxedo OS'), Platform(id='ubuntu', name='Ubuntu'), Platform(id='ultramarine', name='Ultramarine'), Platform(id='void', name='Void Linux'), Platform(id='wsl1', name='Windows Subsystem for Linux v1'), Platform(id='wsl2', name='Windows Subsystem for Linux v2'), Platform(id='xenserver', name='XenServer')})¶

List of platforms supported by the manager.

Allows for a mishmash of platforms and groups of platforms. Will be normalized into a frozenset of Platform instances at instantiation.

requirement: str | None = '>=1.9.5'¶: Version 1.9.5 is the first supporting –json parameter for get-devices command.

cli_names: tuple[str, ...] = ('fwupdmgr',)¶

List of CLI names the package manager is known as.

This list of recognized CLI names is ordered by priority. That way we can influence the search of the right binary.

..hint::: This was helpful in the case of the Python transition from 2.x to 3.x, where multiple versions of the same executable were named python or python3.

By default, this property’s value is derived from the manager’s ID (see the MetaPackageManager.__init__ method above).

pre_args: tuple[str, ...] = ('--assume-yes', '--no-reboot-check', '--no-device-prompt')¶

version_regexes: tuple[str, ...] = ('compile\\s+org\\.freedesktop\\.fwupd\\s+(?P<version>\\S+)\\s+',)¶
