7 Provides helpful definitions for dealing with Apt.
12 The APT module provides a simple interface for managing APT source, key, and definitions with Puppet.
17 APT automates obtaining and installing software packages on *nix systems.
24 * package/service/configuration files for APT
25 * your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory
26 * NOTE: Setting the `purge_sources_list` and `purge_sources_list_d` parameters to 'true' will destroy any existing content that was not declared with Puppet. The default for these parameters is 'false'.
33 To begin using the APT module with default parameters, declare the class
37 Puppet code that uses anything from the APT module requires that the core apt class be declared.
42 Using the APT module consists predominantly in declaring classes that provide desired functionality and features.
46 `apt` provides a number of common resources and options that are shared by the various defined types in this module, so you MUST always include this class in your manifests.
48 The parameters for `apt` are not required in general and are predominantly for development environment use-cases.
51 always_apt_update => false,
52 disable_keys => undef,
55 purge_sources_list => false,
56 purge_sources_list_d => false,
57 purge_preferences_d => false
60 Puppet will manage your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory but will do its best to respect existing content.
62 If you declare your apt class with `purge_sources_list` and `purge_sources_list_d` set to 'true', Puppet will unapologetically purge any existing content it finds that wasn't declared with Puppet.
66 Installs the build depends of a specified package.
68 apt::builddep { 'glusterfs-server': }
72 Forces a package to be installed from a specific release. This class is particularly useful when using repositories, like Debian, that are unstable in Ubuntu.
74 apt::force { 'glusterfs-server':
75 release => 'unstable',
77 require => Apt::Source['debian_unstable'],
82 Adds a key to the list of keys used by APT to authenticate packages.
84 apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
86 key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
91 key_source => 'http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key',
94 Note that use of `key_source` requires wget to be installed and working.
98 Adds an apt pin for a certain release.
100 apt::pin { 'karmic': priority => 700 }
101 apt::pin { 'karmic-updates': priority => 700 }
102 apt::pin { 'karmic-security': priority => 700 }
106 Adds a ppa repository using `add-apt-repository`.
108 apt::ppa { 'ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa': }
112 Sets the default apt release. This class is particularly useful when using repositories, like Debian, that are unstable in Ubuntu.
114 class { 'apt::release':
115 release_id => 'precise',
120 Adds an apt source to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`.
122 apt::source { 'debian_unstable':
123 location => 'http://debian.mirror.iweb.ca/debian/',
124 release => 'unstable',
125 repos => 'main contrib non-free',
126 required_packages => 'debian-keyring debian-archive-keyring',
128 key_server => 'subkeys.pgp.net',
133 If you would like to configure your system so the source is the Puppet Labs APT repository
135 apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
136 location => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
139 key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
144 The APT module is mostly a collection of defined resource types, which provide reusable logic that can be leveraged to manage APT. It does provide smoke tests for testing functionality on a target system, as well as spec tests for checking a compiled catalog against an expected set of resources.
148 This test will set up a Puppet Labs apt repository. Start by creating a new smoke test in the apt module's test folder. Call it puppetlabs-apt.pp. Inside, declare a single resource representing the Puppet Labs APT source and gpg key
150 apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
151 location => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
154 key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
157 This resource creates an apt source named puppetlabs and gives Puppet information about the repository's location and key used to sign its packages. Puppet leverages Facter to determine the appropriate release, but you can set it directly by adding the release type.
159 Check your smoke test for syntax errors
161 $ puppet parser validate tests/puppetlabs-apt.pp
163 If you receive no output from that command, it means nothing is wrong. Then apply the code
165 $ puppet apply --verbose tests/puppetlabs-apt.pp
166 notice: /Stage[main]//Apt::Source[puppetlabs]/File[puppetlabs.list]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}3be1da4923fb910f1102a233b77e982e'

168 notice: /Stage[main]//Apt::Source[puppetlabs]/Exec[puppetlabs apt update]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events>
170 The above example used a smoke test to easily lay out a resource declaration and apply it on your system. In production, you may want to declare your APT sources inside the classes where they’re needed.
177 Adds the necessary components to get backports for Ubuntu and Debian. The release name defaults to `$lsbdistcodename`. Setting this manually can cause undefined behavior (read: universe exploding).
182 This module should work across all versions of Debian/Ubuntu and support all major APT repository management features.
187 Puppet Labs modules on the Puppet Forge are open projects, and community contributions are essential for keeping them great. We can’t access the huge number of platforms and myriad of hardware, software, and deployment configurations that Puppet is intended to serve.
189 We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes so that our modules work in your environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
191 You can read the complete module contribution guide [on the Puppet Labs wiki.](http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site/wiki/Module_contributing)
