# == Define apt::hold # # This defined type allows you to hold a package based on the version you # require. It's implemented by dropping an apt preferences file pinning the # package to the version you require. # # === Parameters # # [*version*] # The version at which you wish to pin a package. # # This can either be the full version, such as 4:2.11.8.1-5, or # a partial version, such as 4:2.11.* # # [*package*] # _default_: +$title+, the title/name of the resource. # # Name of the package that apt is to hold. # # [*priority*] # _default_: +1001+ # # The default priority of 1001 causes this preference to always win. By # setting the priority to a number greater than 1000 apt will always install # this version even if it means downgrading the currently installed version. define apt::hold( $version, $ensure = 'present', $package = $title, $priority = 1001, ){ validate_string($title) validate_re($ensure, ['^present|absent',]) validate_string($package) validate_string($version) if ! is_integer($priority) { fail('$priority must be an integer') } if $ensure == 'present' { ::apt::pin { "hold_${package}": packages => $package, version => $version, priority => $priority, } } else { ::apt::pin { "hold_${package}": ensure => 'absent', } } }
