From af8ecf1e9f6745a2c2d8c09b0f1e1d7c572981b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: intrigeri Date: Wed, 15 Dec 2010 09:47:57 +0100 Subject: Repair Exec['update_apt'] to run apt-get update when needed. 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] } --- README | 19 ++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 88eef47..ddcd249 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -337,15 +337,16 @@ Use this resource to depend on or add to a completed apt configuration Exec[apt_updated] ----------------- -After this point, current packages can be installed via apt.
