Table of Contents
Description
This module installs packages and forces version pinning on Debian and RedHat based distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS...).
Pinned packages cannot be upgraded, unless they're unpinned or their version number is changed.
Usage
Pinning
pin_package::pin { 'apache':
ensure => '0.5-40';
}
Unpinning
pin_package::pin { 'apache':
ensure => '0.5-40',
unpin => true;
}
Mutual dependencies handling
If you have mutual dependencies issues, you can set pin_only
to true
, and you use the package
resource with require
against pin_package define. Example:
pin_package::pin { ['salt-minion', 'salt-common']:
ensure => $my_version,
pin_only => true;
}
package { ['salt-minion', 'salt-common']:
ensure => $my_version, # you can also use latest here, because you have already pinned
require => Pin_package::Pin['salt-minion', 'salt-common'];
}
Limitations
- only Debian/RedHat families are supported: Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS...
- no test available
