namespace like that
|
|
|
|
The latter is only a wrapper around the former and it seems we want to remove
the latter from our shared common module.
|
|
This define was previously broken unless dctrl-tools and apt-show-versions were
installed.
|

Move this Exec to a dedicated class that is not included by default i.e. we
default not to "apt-get update" on every Puppet run.
We now make use of this class in the apt::upgrade_package define to make sure
APT indexes are up-to-date before attempting package upgrades.
One may now use the following to ensure current packages are installed by
Package resources:
include apt::update
Package { require => Exec[apt_updated] }
|
|
... because Exec[update_apt] is currently never run since we set it refreshonly.
Better solutions are being thought of, but in the meantime the least we can do
is somehow repair apt::upgrade_package.

Lenny's APT does not support pinning like this:
Pin: release o=Debian,n=<%= codename %>
We therefore switched (in commit ef2ebdffd) to:
Pin: release o=Debian,a=<%= release %>
With such a pinning setup, when Squeeze is released, systems using this module
with $apt_use_next_release set to true would immediately switch to prefer
packages from Squeeze. If an automated upgrade process is setup, they would be
automatically upgraded to Squeeze.
This does not sound safe to me, so let's use the release version number as an
additional selection criterion to prevent upgrades to Squeeze to happen behind
our back:
Pin: release o=Debian,a=<%= release %>,v=<%= release_version %>*
Note that the trailing '*' is intentional and necessary to match stable
point-releases.

This is needed when using apt-listbugs with an APT proxy that only {wants,can}
proxy "normal" APT traffic.

This class installs a daily cronjob that checks if a package upgrade
requires the system to be rebooted; if so, cron sends a notification
email to root.

upgrade_package functionality, because you get an email when the package has been upgraded.
|
|
Why apticron, when we have cron-apt already? Some people have different preferences, we use apticron along with the upgrade_package functionality in this module. I know someone who uses cron-apt to run the upgrades, but apticron for notifications, because apticron's notifications are much nicer (cron-apt just gives you the output of apt-get upgrade)

a single source referenced by the README, and clarify the README to indicate how you can pass the preseed contents directly
|
|
the alias metaparameter.
the reason for this change was because the Exec override was not able to find the exec through its alias
|
|
instead of $debian_release, also expand it to allow for site-apt sources
|
|
the templates/Debian/preferences_lenny.erb file checked in with
e2f80db7b76171e5945127e2fd42fb35043990fb contains pinning based on codename,
which is not supported in lenny (see #433624 - if you look at the version graph,
you see, "Fixed in version 0.7.21", and lenny has 0.7.20.2+lenny1.)

Just so people are clear that they do not need to specify a $custom_key_dir to manage the debian archive keyring, I've added some clarifying text so you know that this is not necessary

The README described a few things that were not true relating to the
apt/preferences file.
First of all it said you could ship a 'file', but preferences.pp very clearly
uses the 'content => $custom_preferences' parameter, which will not take file
sources, only templates.
Secondly, it seemed to imply that you could just drop the custom preferences
into your site-apt and it would work. But you actually need to set the
$custom_preferences to indicate the content source.
Lastly, it said that you could specify a host-specific file in the site-apt
module, but there is no facility for this (nor can you use files).
Perhaps this is where this module is going eventually, once we have a
preferences.d possibility? Until then, it makes more sense to have it reflect
the current situation.

The CDN checks your IP and uses the Max-Mind geoIP DB to determine your location and then uses your local country Debian Mirror, or if your local country doesn't have a debian mirror, it uses the local continent. It automatically checks and prunes dead mirrors. the technology for the Debian CDN setup is still improving, I believe that ASN-number associations are the next step to attempt to make more informed, finer-grained choices.
This is more useful than using ftp.debian.org because that is just a round-robin DNS entry that could get you any mirror anywhere.

Before you only had the choice of setting a 03clean apt configuration for either
all hosts, or every single host. Setting it to have the recommended settings for
vservers for all hosts meant that you were setting it for non-vservers as well
as vservers. The other option you had was to set it per host. This was a bit
annoying if you have any more than one vserver because you would need to create
a 03clean for every single vserver guest.
This change auto-detects if the node is a vserver, and if it is it automatically
installs the 03clean_vserver file, with the recommended DSelect::Clean settings,
and allows you to override this for all of your vservers, or for specific hosts.

Current mode (600) makes it impossible to use apt-cache to search for
package names and info, since it tries to read all configuration files
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d before executing.
Change configuration file mode to 644 so that search tasks can be made
without root priviledge.

My branch already has support for defining custom APT mirrors location.
See $apt_debian_url, $apt_security_url, $apt_backports_url, $apt_volatile_url.
=> Discarding the addition of $main_apt_source.

Going on merging immerda changes.
Incompatible change: I do prefer my own generic apt/preferences template to
shipping a static file that only supports Lenny. My own template supports
security, backports, volatile, next release etc.
