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.
Previously, even if $version were passed to apt::force, aptitude would just
install the default version of the package available. This updates the aptitude
call to use the version string if it exists. If no version is passed, or if it
is false, no version is added to the aptitude call. This also updates the
rspec-puppet tests for the define, to reflect the changes to the exec.
This patch fixes the query used by apt::force to
determine rather or not the package is installed.
Previously, the expression was not specific enough and
could not lead to false positives in cases where a package
name is contained within another package name (puppet could be
incorrectly determined as being installed if puppet-common is
installed)
This commit resolves that by improving the query expression.
