Also solves the particular problem of installing packages that have multiple versions in the repo, but specifying the exact version would be troublesome:
$ pkg install -n dovecot
The following 2 packages will be installed:
Installing dovecot: 1.2.17
Reinstalling dovecot-2.2.6 (options changed)
$ pkg install -n dovecot-2.2.6
The following 1 packages will be installed:
Reinstalling dovecot-2.2.6 (options changed)
$ pkg install -n -g dovecot-2*
The following 1 packages will be installed:
Reinstalling dovecot-2.2.6 (options changed)
'easy_install' executable were still left behind and need to be removed
for the customizable 'executable' task argument to correctly work:
'_get_easy_install' should take care of all the functionality related to
determining the correct 'easy_install' executable to use.
This will allow specifying dpkg options as a string passed over to apt
command. dpkg_options expects a comma-separated string of options to be
passed as dpkg options which will be further expanded. For example
dpkg_options='force-confdef,force-confold' will end up as
-o \"Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold\" when passed to apt
Example usage would be:
-m apt -u ubuntu -s \
-a "upgrade=dist update_cache=yes dpkg_options='force-confold'"
or
apt: upgrade=dist update_cache=yes dpkg_options='force-confold'
This module supports `virtualenv_site_packages` as an option to control whether or not to include system packages when installing pip packages into a virtual environment.
The default is no, and when you say yes it explicitly it includes a flag to include site packages, otherwise it doesn't provide a flag.
Some versions of virtualenv by default include site packages and other versions by default do not.
This patch just makes both branches explicit, so `virtualenv_site_packages=no` really means no.
on Mint as it work on Debian, fix#4587.
PPAs are not supported however, since that's a Ubuntu specific feature
and mint is detected as a generic distribution and use a different
codename than the Ubuntu release it is based on, which mean that apt_repository
cannot add detect and add the proper url without a better heuristic.
