I've run into several incidences where a module attempts to install a
package before the apt::source is added or an update is run. Result is a
bunch apt errors and explosions.
Basically what should be done is all the apt::sources are added and and an
update run _before_ any packages are installed to ensure you're pulling
from the repos you want.
I've gone through several iterations in my attempt to achieve that
behavior. The one that works best so far is stages and wrapper classes.
Here's a terse example of what it looks like:
class myorg::common {
include stdlib
Apt::Source {stage => "setup"}
apt::source { 'puppetlabs':
location => 'http://apt.puppetlabs.com',
repos => 'main',
key => '4BD6EC30',
key_server => 'pgp.mit.edu',
}
Exec['apt_update'] -> Package<| title != 'ubuntu-cloud-keyring' |>
}
node 'foo.bar.com' {
include stdlib
class {'myorg::common': stage => "setup"}
}
One thing that bothers me is you have to declare the stage for
myorg::common in every node that uses it. And as the name implies, that's
every node.
Is there a way to get rid of that duplication? I've thought of node
inheritance, but the docs seem to strongly steer you away from that pattern.
