As the apt pinnings are parsed in ascending alphabetical order with
first match wins within a given scope it is useful to be able to specify
a ordering parameter. Then the name parameter can be kept to something
meaningful.
If you need to pin certain Launchpad PPA (ppa:rskvazh/php), you may do:
apt::pin { 'my-launchpad-repo':
priority => 700,
originator =>'LP-PPA-rskvazh-php',
}
Write the pin preference filename as ${name} rather than ${release}, so
that we can pin more than one thing.
Change apt::source so that when pin is set, that it pins to the origin
rather than the release.
apt::ppa and apt::builddep requires apt class. The anchor introduced for
containment of apt-get update causes a dependency loop. apt::ppa appears
to depend on apt class sources.d direcory. While apt::builddep have no
clear reason for a dependency on apt class. This change refactor both
define type, so they no longer cause a dependency loop.
The update to separate Exec["apt-get update ${name}"] to single exec in
apt::update class resulted in apt-get update command to be dangled.
Previously if user specified Package['package_a'] <-
Apt::Resource['source_a'], the original refactor would no longer
guarantee apt-get update is executed before the package is installed.
This patch fixes the problem using the anchor resource and ensuring the
old behaviour is maintained and user can depend on apt-get update
command being invoked if they specify dependency on any apt::*
define resource type as well as the apt class.
apt::pin release should default to title, but should be able to
override. This update removes unnecessary "" around $name, and add spec
tests.

Move apt-get update exec to a seperate class to minimize the number of
apt-get updates invoked by configuration changes.
* remove apt_update exec resource in apt class.
* remove apt-get-${name} in defines.
* apt::source notify Exec['apt update'].
* Remove dependency to Exec['apt_update'].
* fix rspec-puppet tests.
Conflicts:
manifests/source.pp
Several apt::* define resource type does not support ensurable. This
update allows ensure=>absent to support the removal of these
configuration files.
* apt::conf
* apt::pin
* apt::source
The shorthand syntax cause rspec-puppet failure for external modules
depending on the puppet-apt module. This patch uses the require
metaparameter to avoid this issue.
Previously the update-apt exec would always use /usr/bin/aptitude, which is not necessarily present. This change makes it use ${apt::params::provider} which defaults to /usr/bin/apt-get. This also adds some consistency so that ${apt::params::provider} is used everywhere.
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.
