the apt module did not correctly detect Cumulus Linux with lsbdistid.
This change adds several lines in params.pp to detect Cumulus Linux and
set $distid and $distcodename
Add "oldstable" to the default update origins to ensure
the updates keep working after wheezy+1 gets released
See unattended-upgrades 0.79.5+wheezy1 and https://bugs.debian.org/711826
Adds spec test
If lab-release is not installed, then the end user sees a confusing/ vague message
Error: Unsupported lsbdistid () at /modules/apt/manifests/params.pp:52
It is common for docker containers to not include this package by default
After fix, the user sees a friendlier message if lab-release is not installed
Error: Unable to determine lsbdistid, is lsb-release installed? at /modules/apt/manifests/params.pp:52
Quoting https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
Official security support for Debian GNU/Linux 6.0
(code name "Squeeze") has ended on 31 May 2014.
However long term support for the distribution
is going to be extended until February 2016,
i.e. five years after the initial release.
See https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for more details.
Because Squeeze is now oldstable we need to add an oldstable line too
otherwise security updates won't be picked up. This is still because we
can't match on codename.
The default configuration we were writing for Debian was only working
for Squeeze, from Wheezy and onwards this wasn't working anymore. This
has to do with the fact that we should now be using Origins-Pattern
according to the unattended-upgrades docs. However, Ubuntu didn't
entirely get with the program yet...
This change reflects the defaults that unattended-upgrade installs on
every platform we support. In order to do so the unattended-upgrades
Debian archive for Squeeze, Wheezy, Lucid, Precise and Trusty were
downloaded and the default /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades
checked for its content with regard to using Allow-Origins or
Origins-Pattern.
Fixes#277
Lucid (10.04) has `add-apt-repository` but it doesn't accept any
options. The define defaulted to `-y` but this changes that on lucid.
This was made 7 months ago, so apparently no one cares about 10.04 any
more.
This patch adds the appropriate spec tests to validate the changes
introduced by e5f2dfe. As a bonus it includes fixes to the manifests
that were discovered while writing the tests.
With the addition of this patch two new defines will be added; one to
manage APT configuration files (apt::conf) and one that abstracts out the
requirements needed to turn on backport repositories (apt::backports).
In addition, the patch takes the opportunity to clean up variable
definitions so they follow a consistent pattern of setting local
variables to the fully qualified value stored in the apt::params
class. Previously all variable used within a class directly addressed
the apt::params namespace when ever the variable was used. In the
pattern they now adhere to we can more easily switch the namespace
data lives in or externalize it even more using hiera.
This commit changes $release to default to Facter's $lsbdistcodename
and fall back to a Parse Error if $release is not set and $lsbdistcodename
does not exist. Previously $release was hardcoded to karmic.
This commit also modifies apt::ppa to use $release and sets the
files to be ensured so that they are not purged when purge_sources_list_d
is set to true.
