The default behavior is to update_cache if changed.
If you add more then one repo, you may not want to update cache for every repo separately.
So you can now disable update_cache with this new option e.g. update_cache=no
Updating cache can also be handled using the apt module.
Packages which are half-installed are not adequately represented by
the .is_installed field of the apt.package.Package object. By using the
lower-level apt_pkg.Package object (which provides the .current_state
field), we can check for a partially-installed state more accurately.
Fixes#3421
Without this, the first call to the easy_install module with a new virtualenv
will only create the virtualenv without installing the intended package, since
the `_is_package_installed` check will succeed as running /usr/bin/easy_install
as non-root user will return permission denied error with empty stdout.
Yum commandline permit to use a wildcard to enable and disable
repositories in the --enablerepo switch, permitting to enable
a complete set of repository at once ( like all rpmfusion, all
update-testing, etc ).
However, this doesn't work in yum due to more stringent checks
that verify that a exact match is given for the name of the
repository , see commit 5c26805.
This commit enhance the check by permitting to test more than
1 repository at a time, thus permitting to use wildcards.
1. Debian Squeeze is supported out of box now.
2. Repository type "deb" or "deb-src" should be explicitly specified.
3. If a source had beed added it must be possible to remove it.
4. PPA can be only used against Ubuntu hosts.
I'm seeing ansible hang when trying to remove a package, and the hung
process is `whiptail` like in #2763. It looks like we only use
`APT_ENVVARS` and `DPKG_OPTIONS` for the `apt` commands in install()
and upgrade(). This change uses them in remove() as well, which fixes
the hang.
The apt-key command takes an optional --keyring parameter representing
the path to a specific GPG keyring to operate on. If it's not given,
the command operates on all keyring files, i.e., /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
and /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/*.gpg.
This change adds a 'keyring' parameter to the apt_key module and
propagates it down to the apt-key command line. The main use case this
supports is organizing keys for third-party repos into individual
keyrings in /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d, rather than putting them all in
the default keyring.
This fixes an asterisk glob problem in get_package_state() where a file
in /root/ could cause shell expansion if it matched the package name.
The actual problem is solved by running with shell=False.
This diff syncs package_latest() with the changes to package_present().
I have not managed to figure out how to handle the cornercases where
stderr is set but the command has not failed, so leave a FIXME blob for
other adventurers.
* Add '-m' to pkg_add incovation to get access to the "packagename-1.0: ok"
message.
* Watch for that message if we are about to fail because of stderr in
package_present().
This fixes a problem when trying to install a package with a specific version
number from a local directory and the local directory is checked after a remote
repository:
Error from http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/[...]/packagename-1.0.tgz
ftp: Error retrieving file: 404 Not Found
packagename-1.0: ok
Previously, a configuration file name of None was being passed into
up2dateInitConfig(). This resulted in a correct configuration import,
but failed to properly save the configuration back to disk in the event
a different serverURL was supplied. This change removes support for
customizing the up2date filename entirely, and relies on up2date to
choose the default config filename.
Older python-apt modules don't export Package.installed_files and there
seems to be no other way to figure out if a package is
removed-but-not-purged, so we just always assume it's purged.

A package may be removed but not purged with APT. The only way to
identify this state is by looking at the list of installed files of
a package. Even if the package has no files installed, this list will be
non-empty until the package is removed:
# python -c "import apt; c=apt.Cache(); c.update(); c.open(); p=c['ruby1.8']; print p, p.installed, p.installed_files"
<Package: name:'ruby1.8' id:1425> None [u'']
# dpkg --purge ruby1.8
(Reading database ... 27904 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing ruby1.8 ...
Purging configuration files for ruby1.8 ...
# python -c "import apt; c=apt.Cache(); c.update(); c.open(); p=c['ruby1.8']; print p, p.installed, p.installed_files"
<Package: name:'ruby1.8' id:1425> None []
See http://bugs.debian.org/712749 too.
If a package is not marked installed but it still 'has_files', then it
should be processed if the request is to purge it.

A small error in the reuse of a variable caused packages to never get
purged. This commit fixes that.

Migrated all examples: in DOCUMENTATION=''' string to standalone EXAMPLES=''' string
Added deprecation warning to moduledev.rst and remove deprecated example from it
Fixed up a few typos and uppercased some acronyms.
add consistency to how EXAMPLES are formatted
The biggest change has been to package_latest since it was previously
just comparing version numbers before and after an upgrade had run.
We now parse the output from a dry run instead.
Thanks to Johan Belin for triggering the discussion :).
