Hello!
I have question about Debian package management with puppet. I'm
wondering is there sane way to make puppet respects packages pinning?
i.e., if I have several repos for one package, let's say it is "nginx"
which can be found in lenny & lenny-backports repos. I've created
pinning file like:
Package: nginx
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 600
So, if i have nginx installed from repository "lenny" , 'apt-get
install nginx' will update (if version is newer of course) nginx from
lenny-backports .
When I run puppet, it just ignores package available in pins, I guess
it thinks package already installed. Package is described like:
$packagelist = [ "nginx" ]
package { $packagelist:
ensure => installed,
}
Using "latest" is not the cure, because it will look only on version
(as i understand) and not on pins. I've found
https://github.com/evolvingweb/puppet-apt/blob/master/manifests/force.pp
which looks like something I need, but may be I'm missing something
and there is proper way to do this.
My puppet versions:
root@kappa2:~# dpkg -l|grep puppet
ii puppet 2.6.2-4~bpo50+1
Centralized configuration management - agent
ii puppet-common 2.6.2-4~bpo50+1
Centralized configuration management
root@kappa2:~# puppetd --version
2.6.2
OS - Debian Lenny amd64, puppet from backports.
P.S. Please, CC me on reply.
