The previous template was indeed ensuring no package from squeeze-updates could
be easily or automatically installed.
|
|
Every needed function has been updated since Squeeze was released and we can
thus use a nice generic template.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

Not doing this breaks big parts of functionality, such as aptitude why.
|
|
-y instead of --force-yes. this way we are acting in the same way as the dist_upgrade class
|
|
things that are unrelated to the task at hand, such as deinstalling automatically installed packages, which can be undesirable behavior

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.

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
