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.
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.

Let's set refreshonly on the 'update_apt' Exec (aliased to 'apt_updated')
instead of removing it for backward compatibility: it may be in use at some
places to trigger updates.
Add a file resource on the apt/sources.list.d directory to ensure that
it is created as a directory and watch it for modifications to
automatically refresh the apt cache.

Unattended upgrades are not always necessary. Including the
apt::unattended_upgrades class through the main apt class is not
appropriate. It is better to make nodes include the
apt::unattended_upgrades class explicitly.
Remove the $apt_unattended_upgrades variable along with the include in
the 'apt' class.

Currently, setting the $custom_preferences variable to false fails
because of the /etc/apt/preferences concatenated_file being re-defined.
Fix this by setting dependencies on the resource only when we expect to
create the /etc/apt/preferences file. Also, since there is no "ensure"
parameter to concatenated_file, use a simple file resource to ensure
that it is removed.

The current proxy_client template makes it possible to communicate with
the proxy only via HTTP. Add the protocol to the variable so that it's
possible to change the protocol.

Currently, it's either we use the default source that's hardcoded in the
sources.list template or we redefine entirely this template.
Make it easier to just change the URL of the apt source while using the
rest of the default template by adding a $main_apt_source variable.

This variable was deprecated in favor of using a list of file sources.
to change the value of the 'clean' property, you can either define a
file '03clean' in a site-apt module, or a per-host '$fqdn/03clean' file
in the same site-apt module.
Also, move the moduledir stuff below nearer to where it's actually used.

remove the use of _snippet in names (except for preferences_snippet) so
that they represent directly a resource name.
rename custom_sources_template to sources_list.
modify sources_list to make it more flexible (gives the opportunity to
provide sources or content). this changes its behaviour in that the name
is now the name of the file in sources.list.d
rename proxy-client to proxy_client to use the same standard for its
name as the other classes.

Simplifications: make apt_conf_snippet repeat less code, make code that
generates sources.list more concise.
Remove all inline content in favor of templates and static files.
The ability to include sources for static files was needed for
the main 'preferences' file, so it was added to the preferences_snippet
define.

With the new define, it's easy to add an apt.conf snippet in apt.conf.d
It accepts either 'sources' to get a static file or 'content' to define
content inline or with the help of a template.
Put it to use where we create files in apt.conf.d
Finally, fix the dependancy to the apt_config file (however, I don't see
the need for this dependancy)

The current code makes it mandatory to have a file /etc/apt/preferences
present. In the event that this file is empty or contains a space,
apt-get update cannot execute.
Add a case with the special value "false" that ensures the file does not
exist.

The module currently doesn't have a handy way of making a server get its
packages via a proxy. Add a "proxy-client" class that makes this easy.
$apt_proxy declares the proxy server's fqdn
$apt_proxy_port declares the port used for connection

The file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/from_puppet" is currently only defined
when $custom_sources_list is not used (it is declared in
default_preferences).
Bring this file up in the apt class so that using custom sources doesn't
remove its addition.

- refactor every class and define into its very own file to fit
better (at least our) puppet's best practices.
- some cosmetic rearrangements
- no code changes have been made, only reordering
This simplifies upgrades for DSA security announcements or point-releases. This
will ensure that the named package is upgrade to the version specified, only if the
package is installed, otherwise nothing happens. If the specified version is 'latest' (the
default), then the package is ensured to be upgraded to the latest package revision when
it becomes available.
For example, the following upgrades the perl package to version 5.8.8-7etch1 (if it is
installed), it also upgrades the syslog-ng and perl-modules packages to their latest (also,
only if they are installed):
upgrade_package { "perl":
version => '5.8.8-7etch1';
"syslog-ng":
version => latest;
"perl-modules":
}
automatically making sure that the preseeding directories are present
and pulling the seed file from templates/$debian_version/$name.seeds
which enables you to define things such as:
apt::preseeded_package { [ locales, popularity-contest, apt-listchanges, apticron]: }
and the .seed files will be automatically pulled and populated
