Making use of the apt-check command from the 'update-notifier-common'
package (if available) display the number of available updates, number of
security updates as well as the update package names.
As some places dont have port 11371 open, they are required to use URL as
key_server instead of domain name therefore adding the capability to use URL or
domain name as key_server parameter
Ubuntu 14.04 ships with apt 0.9.15, has a ``fancy progress bar'', which
is a green bar that shows at the bottom of the terminal showing progress
throughout install.
This patch enables the progress bar, which is usually done by running
echo 'Dpkg::Progress-Fancy "1";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99progressbar
This commit changes the proxy file name to be more consistent with other files
in `apt.conf.d`. The old file (`apt.conf.d/proxy`) is removed.
Tests has been updated.
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.
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.
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.
We already had a feature to manage and purge entries in preferences.d
but not the preferences file in /etc/apt. This commit adds that
capability.
Fixes#199
