-The APT module provides a simple interface for managing APT source, key, and definitions with Puppet.
+## Overview
-Module Description
-------------------
+The apt module lets you use Puppet to manage Apt sources, keys, and other configuration options.
-APT automates obtaining and installing software packages on \*nix systems.
+## Module Description
-***Note:** While this module allows the use of short keys, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you DO NOT USE short keys, as they pose a serious security issue in that they open you up to collision attacks.*
+Apt (Advanced Package Tool) is a package manager available on Debian, Ubuntu, and several other operating systems. The apt module provides a series of classes, defines, types, and facts to help you automate Apt package management.
-Setup
------
+## Setup
-**What APT affects:**
+### What apt affects
-* package/service/configuration files for APT
- * NOTE: Setting the `purge_preferences` or `purge_preferences_d` parameters to 'true' will destroy any existing configuration that was not declared with puppet. The default for these parameters is 'false'.
-* your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory
- * 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'.
-* system repositories
-* authentication keys
+* Your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory
+* System repositories
+* Authentication keys
-### Beginning with APT
+**Note:** Setting the apt module's `purge_sources_list` and `purge_sources_list_d` parameters to 'true' will destroy any existing content that you haven't declared through Puppet. The default for these parameters is 'false'.
-To begin using the APT module with default parameters, declare the class
+### Beginning with apt
- include apt
+To use the apt module with default parameters, declare the `apt` class.
-Puppet code that uses anything from the APT module requires that the core apt class be declared/\s\+$//e
+~~~puppet
+include apt
+~~~
-Usage
------
+**Note:** The main `apt` class is required by all other classes, types, and defines in this module. You must declare it whenever you use the module.
-Using the APT module consists predominantly in declaring classes that provide desired functionality and features.
+## Usage
-### apt
+### Add GPG keys
-`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.
+**Warning:** Using short key IDs presents a serious security issue, potentially leaving you open to collision attacks. We recommend you always use full fingerprints to identify your GPG keys. This module allows short keys, but issues a security warning if you use them.
-The parameters for `apt` are not required in general and are predominantly for development environment use-cases.
+Declare the `apt::key` class:
- class { 'apt':
- always_apt_update => false,
- disable_keys => undef,
- proxy_host => false,
- proxy_port => '8080',
- purge_sources_list => false,
- purge_sources_list_d => false,
- purge_preferences_d => false,
- update_timeout => undef,
- fancy_progress => undef
- }
+~~~puppet
+apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
+ id => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
+ server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
+ options => 'http-proxy="http://proxyuser:proxypass@example.org:3128"',
+}
+~~~
-Puppet will manage your system's `sources.list` file and `sources.list.d` directory but will do its best to respect existing content.
+You can make Apt load your key before others by adjusting the `priority` parameter (the default priority is 50).
-If you declare your apt class with `purge_sources_list`, `purge_sources_list_d`, `purge_preferences` and `purge_preferences_d` set to 'true', Puppet will unapologetically purge any existing content it finds that wasn't declared with Puppet.
+~~~puppet
+apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
+ id => '47B320EB4C7C375AA9DAE1A01054B7A24BD6EC30',
+ server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
+ options => 'http-proxy="http://proxyuser:proxypass@example.org:3128"',
+ priority => '50',
+}
+~~~
-### apt::builddep
+### Prioritize backports
-Installs the build depends of a specified package.
+~~~puppet
+class { 'apt::backports':
+ pin => 500,
+}
+~~~
- apt::builddep { 'glusterfs-server': }
+By default, the `apt::backports` class drops a pin file for backports, pinning it to a priority of 200. This is lower than the normal default of 500, so packages with `ensure => latest` don't get upgraded from backports without your explicit permission.
-### apt::force
+If you raise the priority through the `pin` parameter to 500, normal policy goes into effect and Apt installs or upgrades to the newest version. This means that if a package is available from backports, it and its dependencies are pulled in from backports unless you explicitly set the `ensure` attribute of the `package` resource to `installed`/`present` or a specific version.
-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.
+### Update the list of packages
- apt::force { 'glusterfs-server':
- release => 'unstable',
- version => '3.0.3',
- require => Apt::Source['debian_unstable'],
- }
+By default, Puppet runs `apt-get update` on the first Puppet run after you include the `apt` class, and anytime `notify => Exec['apt_update']` occurs; i.e., whenever config files get updated or other relevant changes occur. If you set `update['frequency']` to 'always', the update runs on every Puppet run. You can also set `update['frequency']` to 'daily' or 'weekly':
-### apt_key
+~~~puppet
+class { 'apt':
+ update => {
+ frequency => 'daily',
+ },
+}
+~~~
-A native Puppet type and provider for managing GPG keys for APT is provided by
-this module.
+### Pin a specific release
- apt_key { 'puppetlabs':
- ensure => 'present',
- id => '4BD6EC30',
- }
+~~~puppet
+apt::pin { 'karmic': priority => 700 }
+apt::pin { 'karmic-updates': priority => 700 }
+apt::pin { 'karmic-security': priority => 700 }
+~~~
-You can additionally set the following attributes:
+You can also specify more complex pins using distribution properties:
- * `source`: HTTP, HTTPS or FTP location of a GPG key or path to a file on the
- target host;
- * `content`: Instead of pointing to a file, pass the key in as a string;
- * `server`: The GPG key server to use. It defaults to *keyserver.ubuntu.com*;
- * `keyserver_options`: Additional options to pass to `--keyserver`.
+~~~puppet
+apt::pin { 'stable':
+ priority => -10,
+ originator => 'Debian',
+ release_version => '3.0',
+ component => 'main',
+ label => 'Debian'
+}
+~~~
-Because it is a native type it can be used in and queried for with MCollective.
+To pin multiple packages, pass them to the `packages` parameter as an array or a space-delimited string.
-### apt::key
+### Add a PPA (Personal Package Archive) repository
-Adds a key to the list of keys used by APT to authenticate packages. This type
-uses the aforementioned `apt_key` native type. As such it no longer requires
-the wget command that the old implementation depended on.
+~~~puppet
+apt::ppa { 'ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa': }
+~~~
- apt::key { 'puppetlabs':
- key => '4BD6EC30',
- key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
- }
+### Add an Apt source to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`
- apt::key { 'jenkins':
- key => 'D50582E6',
- key_source => 'http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key',

+## Reference
- apt::pin { 'karmic': priority => 700 }
- apt::pin { 'karmic-updates': priority => 700 }
- apt::pin { 'karmic-security': priority => 700 }
+### Classes
-Note you can also specifying more complex pins using distribution properties.
+#### Public Classes
- apt::pin { 'stable':
- priority => -10,
- originator => 'Debian',
- release_version => '3.0',
- component => 'main',
- label => 'Debian'
- }
+* [`apt`](#class-apt)
+* [`apt::backports`](#class-aptbackports)
-If you wish to pin a number of packages you may specify the packages as a space
-delimited string using the `packages` attribute or pass in an array of package
-names.
+#### Private Classes
-### apt::hold
+* `apt::params`: Provides defaults for the apt module parameters.
+* `apt::update`: Updates the list of available packages using `apt-get update`.
-When you wish to hold a package in Puppet is should be done by passing in
-'held' as the ensure attribute to the package resource. However, a lot of
-public modules do not take this into account and generally do not work well
-with an ensure of 'held'.
+### Defines
-There is an additional issue that when Puppet is told to hold a package, it
-will hold it at the current version installed, there is no way to tell it in
-one go to install a specific version and then hold that version without using
-an exec resource that wraps `dpkg --set-selections` or `apt-mark`.
+* [`apt::conf`](#define-aptconf)
+* [`apt::key`](#define-aptkey)
+* [`apt::pin`](#define-aptpin)
+* [`apt::ppa`](#define-aptppa)
+* [`apt::setting`](#define-aptsetting)
+* [`apt::source`](#define-aptsource)
-At first glance this could also be solved by just passing the version required
-to the ensure attribute but that only means that Puppet will install that
-version once it processes that package. It does not inform apt that we want
-this package to be held. In other words; if another package somehow wants to
-upgrade this one (because of a version requirement in a dependency), apt
-should not allow it.
+### Types
-In order to solve this you can use apt::hold. It's implemented by creating
-a preferences file with a priority of 1001, meaning that under normal
-circumstances this preference will always win. Because the priority is > 1000
-apt will interpret this as 'this should be the version installed and I am
-allowed to downgrade the current package if needed'.
+* [`apt_key`](#type-apt_key)
-With this you can now set a package's ensure attribute to 'latest' but still
-get the version specified by apt::hold. You can do it like this:
+### Facts
- apt::hold { 'vim':
- version => '2:7.3.547-7',
- }
+* `apt_updates`: The number of installed packages with available updates.
-Since you might just want to hold Vim at version 7.3 and not care about the
-rest you can also pass in a version with a glob:
+* `apt_security_updates`: The number of installed packages with available security updates.
- apt::hold { 'vim':
- version => '2:7.3.*',
- }
+* `apt_package_updates`: The names of all installed packages with available updates. In Facter 2.0 and later this data is formatted as an array; in earlier versions it is a comma-delimited string.
-### apt::ppa
+* `apt_update_last_success`: The date, in epochtime, of the most recent successful `apt-get update` run (based on the mtime of /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp).
-Adds a ppa repository using `add-apt-repository`.
+* `apt_reboot_required`: Determines if a reboot is necessary after updates have been installed.
- apt::ppa { 'ppa:drizzle-developers/ppa': }
+#### Class: `apt`

-### Testing
+#### Define: `apt::source`
-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.
+Manages the Apt sources in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`.
-#### Example Test
+##### Parameters (all optional, except where specified)
-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
+* `allow_unsigned`: Specifies whether to authenticate packages from this release, even if the Release file is not signed or the signature can't be checked. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'false'.
- apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
- location => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
- repos => 'main',
- key => '4BD6EC30',
- key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
- }
+* `architecture`: Tells Apt to only download information for specified architectures. Valid options: a string containing one or more architecture names, separated by commas (e.g., 'i386' or 'i386,alpha,powerpc'). Default: undef (if unspecified, Apt downloads information for all architectures defined in the Apt::Architectures option).
-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.
+* `comment`: Supplies a comment for adding to the Apt source file. Valid options: a string. Default: $name.
-Check your smoke test for syntax errors
+* `ensure`: Specifies whether the Apt source file should exist. Valid options: 'present' and 'absent'. Default: 'present'.
- $ puppet parser validate tests/puppetlabs-apt.pp
+* `key`: Creates a declaration of the apt::key define Valid options: a string to be passed to the `id` parameter of the `apt::key` define, or a hash of `parameter => value` pairs to be passed to `apt::key`'s `id`, `server`, `content`, `source`, and/or `options` parameters. Default: undef.
-If you receive no output from that command, it means nothing is wrong. Then apply the code
+* `include`: Configures include options. Valid options: a hash made up from the following keys:
- $ puppet apply --verbose tests/puppetlabs-apt.pp
- notice: /Stage[main]//Apt::Source[puppetlabs]/File[puppetlabs.list]/ensure: defined content as '{md5}3be1da4923fb910f1102a233b77e982e'
- info: /Stage[main]//Apt::Source[puppetlabs]/File[puppetlabs.list]: Scheduling refresh of Exec[puppetlabs apt update]
- notice: /Stage[main]//Apt::Source[puppetlabs]/Exec[puppetlabs apt update]: Triggered 'refresh' from 1 events>
+* 'deb' - Specifies whether to request the distribution's compiled binaries. Valid options: 'true' and 'false. Default: 'true'.
-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.
+* 'src' - Specifies whether to request the distribution's uncompiled source code. Valid options: 'true' and 'false'. Default: 'false'. Default: {}.
-Implementation
---------------
+* `location`: *Required, unless `ensure` is set to 'absent'.* Specifies an Apt repository. Valid options: a string containing a repository URL. Default: undef.
-### apt::backports
+* `pin`: Creates a declaration of the apt::pin define Valid options: a number or string to be passed to the `id` parameter of the `apt::pin` define, or a hash of `parameter => value` pairs to be passed to `apt::pin`'s corresponding parameters. Default: undef.
-Adds the necessary components to get backports for Ubuntu and Debian. The release name defaults to `$lsbdistcodename`. Setting this manually can cause undefined behavior (read: universe exploding).
+* `release`: Specifies a distribution of the Apt repository. Valid options: a string. Default: "$lsbdistcodename".
-By default this class drops a Pin-file for Backports pinning it to a priority of 200, lower than the normal Debian archive which gets a priority of 500 to ensure your packages with `ensure => latest` don't get magically upgraded from Backports without your explicit say-so.
+* `repos`: Specifies a component of the Apt repository. Valid options: a string. Default: 'main'.
-If you raise the priority through the `pin_priority` parameter to *500*, identical to the rest of the Debian mirrors, normal policy goes into effect and the newest version wins/becomes the candidate apt will want to install or upgrade to. This means that if a package is available from Backports it and its dependencies will be pulled in from Backports unless you explicitly set the `ensure` attribute of the `package` resource to `installed`/`present` or a specific version.
+#### Type: `apt_key`
-Limitations
------------
+Manages the GPG keys that Apt uses to authenticate packages.
-This module should work across all versions of Debian/Ubuntu and support all major APT repository management features.
+**Note:** In most cases, we recommend using the `apt::key` define. It makes use of the `apt_key` type, but includes extra functionality to help prevent duplicate keys.
-Development
-------------
+##### Parameters (all optional)
-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.
+* `content`: Supplies the entire GPG key. Useful in case the key can't be fetched from a remote location and using a file resource is inconvenient. Cannot be used in combination with `source`. Valid options: a string. Default: undef.
-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.
+* `options`: Passes additional options to `apt-key adv --keyserver-options`. Valid options: a string. Default: undef.
-You can read the complete module contribution guide [on the Puppet Labs wiki.](http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/module-site/wiki/Module_contributing)
+* `server`: Specifies a keyserver to provide Puppet's GPG key. Valid options: a string containing a domain name or a full URL. Default: 'keyserver.ubuntu.com'.
-License
--------
+* `source`: Specifies the location of an existing GPG key file to copy. Cannot be used in combination with `content`. Valid options: a string containing a URL (ftp://, http://, or https://) or an absolute path. Default: undef.
-The original code for this module comes from Evolving Web and was licensed under the MIT license. Code added since the fork of this module is licensed under the Apache 2.0 License like the rest of the Puppet Labs products.
+## Limitations
-The LICENSE contains both licenses.
+This module is tested and officially supported on Debian 6 and 7 and Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04, and 14.04. Testing on other platforms has been light and cannot be guaranteed.
