In APT preferences files the only allowed comments are lines that start
with `Explanation:`, commented lines that start with a # trigger a
myriad of interesting bugs. This is considered a feature of APT.
Because we're only ever writing a single file at a time with only a #
comment at the top we were getting away with this but it shouldn't be
there in the first place.
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
The module used to always pin backports to a priority of 200. This
default is still retained but is now configurable.
Additionally the default is now an Integer, not a 'quoted Integer' and
the tests have been updated to reflect this. This matters for future
parser as it will now kick people if they pass in a stringified integer
as priority.
For some reason, even though our own tests pass with `require
puppet_x/apt_key/patch_openuri` every other module that depends on
puppetlabs-apt is now breaking in tests claiming it can't load that
module.
Somewhere along the way something is probably messing with LOADPATH
causing this to trip up. This should fix the issues for everyone.
This commit affects:
* puppetlabs/puppetlabs-apt#229
* puppetlabs/puppetlabs-postgresql#391
With official supported modules now being a thing and having a version
of the APT module to which we will backport fixes until the next major
release it is time to say goodbye to Puppet 2.7.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
With PE 3.2 out of the door shipping with 3.4.3 I think it's time to
shrink the matrix and get rid of 3.1 and 3.2. PE 3.x customers should
just upgrade to 3.2, OS users should really be on 3.3+ by now.
I am aware this can be done with `dpkg --set-selections`, `apt-mark`
or `ensure => 'held'` on a package resource. The changes to the README
include the full rationale for wanting another mechanism.
Introducing a totally rewritten and tested apt::key. This commit also
patches the spec's of apt::source because it was passing in data that
is no longer allowed by the new validation rules in apt::key.
It does its best to not touch any other specs and where we touch them
only minimally to ensure that we're not introducing breaking changes.
Per a request to have initial release notes that specifically listed known issues for this PE 3.2 release, and barred by time constraints from automating a pull from open issues in JIRA, this commit adds a Release Note and Known Bug section to the Changelog for the imminent 3.2 release. As it will display on the Forge, updates file type to markdown and standardizes previous entries.
