Apt module for Puppet

Description

Provides helpful definitions for dealing with Apt.

Usage

apt:builddep

Install the build depends of a specified package.

apt::builddep { "glusterfs-server": }

apt::force

Force a package to be installed from a specific release. Useful when using repositories like Debian unstable in Ubuntu.

apt::force { "glusterfs-server":
	release => "unstable",
	version => '3.0.3',
	require => Apt::Source["debian_unstable"],
}

apt::pin

Add an apt pin for a certain release.

apt::pin { "karmic": priority => 700 }
apt::pin { "karmic-updates": priority => 700 }
apt::pin { "karmic-security": priority => 700 }

apt::ppa

Add a ppa repository using add-apt-repository. Somewhat experimental.

apt::ppa { "ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa": }

apt::release

Set the default apt release. Useful when using repositories like Debian unstable in Ubuntu.

apt::release { "karmic": }

apt::source

Add an apt source to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

apt::source { "debian_unstable":
  location          => "http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/",
  release           => "unstable",
  repos             => "main contrib non-free",
  required_packages => "debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring",
  key               => "55BE302B",
  key_server        => "subkeys.pgp.net",
  pin               => "-10",
  include_src       => true
}

apt::key

Add a key to the list of keys used by apt to authenticate packages.

apt::key { "puppetlabs":
  key        => "4BD6EC30",
  key_server => "pgp.mit.edu",
}

apt::key { "jenkins":
  key        => "D50582E6",
  key_source => "http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key",
}

Note that use of the "key_source" parameter requires wget to be installed and working.
