I don't have enough nodes to justify running my own patch repository, but here is the manifest I use for patching our Debian-derived systems. First, though, here is the facter called "updates_already_running"
Facter.add(:updates_already_running) do confine :osfamily => "Debian" setcode do if Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("ps aux | grep 'dpkg\|apt-get' | grep -v grep") "yes" end end end And, here is the manifest: class system_updates { # ==Purpose # This class is used for running system updates on all Linux assets. # # ==Actions # * Compiles a list of available updates # * Ensures that any pending package problems are resolved # * Applies all available updates # * Automatically cleans up any packages that are no longer needed # * Empties genericadmin's mailbox # * Reboots the system if any updates require it # # if ( $::updates_already_running ) { } else { Exec["lock_prep"] -> Exec["apt_prep"] -> Exec["apt_update"] -> Exec[ "apt_fix"] -> Exec["apt_upgrade"] -> Exec["apt_remove"] -> Exec[ "empty_mailbox"] -> Exec["reboot"] # # exec { "lock_prep": command => "rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/lock ; rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/lock ; rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/lock", } exec { "apt_prep": command => "rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* ; mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial", } exec { "apt_update": command => "apt-get update", } exec { "apt_fix": command => "apt-get -f install", } exec { "apt_upgrade": command => "apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::=\"--force-confdef\" -o Dpkg::Options::=\"--force-confold\" -y --force-yes dist-upgrade", } exec { "apt_remove": command => "apt-get -y autoremove", } exec { "empty_mailbox": command => 'echo "" > /home/genericadmin/mbox', onlyif => "test -f /home/genericadmin/mbox", } exec { "reboot": command => "reboot", onlyif => "test -f /var/run/reboot-required", } } } I hope this helps you.
