* Removes dependency on lsb-release and/or Facter >1.7
(values are based on $::lsbdistcodename, when available)
* Simplifies maintenance: only lib/facter/util/* require updates as new
releases are made
Caveats:
* apt::codename is removed; to override debian_* facts, set the
FACTER_debian_codename environment variable for puppet
* If tracking unstable, make sure lsb-release is installed, as other
methods can't tell between testing and unstable
This functionality was lost because we stopped using a source file for
the 50unattended-upgrades file that would previously let one override
the configuration per release or per host.
What happened here was the $codename = $::lsbdistcodename was removed from
init.pp and replaced with just $::lsbdistcodename whereever $codename was
used. Then in the sources.list.erb and preferences files things were changed
like this:
<pre>+### Debian current: <%= codename = scope.lookupvar('::lsbdistcodename') %>
...
-deb <%= debian_url %> <%= codename %> <%= repos %>
...
+deb <%= debian_url=scope.lookupvar('apt::debian_url') %> <%= codename %> <%= repos=scope.lookupvar('apt::repos') %>
</pre>
This meant that the codename was always set to lsbdistcodename, and you because
in newer puppet versions you cannot assign a value to a top-level facter
variable, it is not possible to change this.
Because we cannot change $lsbdistcodename, we have to fix this by allowing the
user to pass a different, non-top-level scoped variable to the class as a
parameter, which defaults to $::lsbdistcodename, so that upgrades can be
triggered.
This is documented in the README in an upgrade notice
Since Debian Squeeze, apt supports a .d directory for preferences
(pinning). Simplify management by just placing files inside this .d
directory.
This removes the need for concat and concat::fragment resources, so
removes the dependency on the concat module. It also removes the need
for a moduledir that was needed for the concat module magic, so we also
get rid of the dependency on the common module.

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.
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.
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] }
