Apt module for Puppet

Description

Provides helpful definitions for dealing with Apt.

Usage

apt:builddep

Install the build depends of a specified package.

apt::force

Force a package to be installed from a specific release. Useful when using repositories like Debian unstable in Ubuntu.

apt::pin

Add an apt pin for a certain release.

apt::ppa

Add a ppa repository using add-apt-repository. Somewhat experimental.

apt::release

Set the default apt release. Useful when using repositories like Debian unstable in Ubuntu.

apt::source

apt::key

Add a key to the list of keys used by apt to authenticate packages.

Note that use of the "key_source" parameter requires wget to be installed and working.
