2012-08-08update README to reflect the requirement of the lsb moduleMicah Anderson
2012-06-08Allow passing arbitrary Pin value to apt::preferences_snippet.intrigeri
Closes: Redmine#3467.
2012-06-08Support multiple APT preferences snippets for the same package name pattern.intrigeri
This is implemented by adding a "package" parameter to apt::preferences_snippet, so that define names can be kept unique while the package names are not necessarily. Closes: Redmine#3468.
2012-06-08Migrate - in class names to _mh

2011-02-07Starting from Squeeze, Debian Volatile is deprecated in favor of ↵intrigeri
CODENAME-updates. Take this into account in the Debian sources.list template: - go on using volatile.d.o for <= Lenny sources lines - start using CODENAME-updates for Squeeze and newer. Reference: http://lists.debian.org/debian-volatile/2011/01/msg00008.html
2010-12-16New class: apt::dist_upgrade::initiator.intrigeri
This implements the "update initiator" pattern suggested by http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Debian_Patterns. This feature is useful when one does not want to setup a fully automated upgrade process but still needs a way to manually trigger full upgrades of any number of systems at scheduled times.
2010-12-16New class: apt::dist_upgrade.intrigeri
2010-12-15Fix 5237f9da.intrigeri
2010-12-15Repair Exec['update_apt'] to run apt-get update when needed.intrigeri
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] }
2010-12-11Allow running cron-apt more than once a day.intrigeri
2010-12-11New class: apt::reboot_required_notifyintrigeri
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.

2010-12-09removed bit from README that is no longer trueMicah Anderson
2010-12-08add apt-listchanges support. this is a nice compliment to using the ↵Micah Anderson
upgrade_package functionality, because you get an email when the package has been upgraded.
2010-12-08add apticron support.Micah Anderson
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)
2010-12-07multiple sources for templates are not allowed (see #1818), so revert it to ↵Micah Anderson
a single source referenced by the README, and clarify the README to indicate how you can pass the preseed contents directly

2010-12-07README update: minor typo fixMicah Anderson
2010-12-07README update: clarify that the debian-archive-keyring is managed alreadyMicah Anderson
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
2010-12-07README update: clarify the site-apt preferences optionsMicah Anderson
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.
2010-12-07Set dselect DSelect::Clean to 'pre-auto' by default for hosts that are vservers.Micah Anderson
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.
