There's nothing existing that I know of that works in the GUI-based way you seem to be talking about. Because, well, we *nix people usually don't do that.
I've really only worked on RPM-based systems, so I'm not sure if this is still applicable in the debian world... There are 2 types of updates I do 1) updating one package or a set of packages (like, updating Puppet from 3.1.0 to 3.4.1) which I do with the "ensure" parameter on the Package type. Some stuff is wrapped up in classes, and this can be done through an ENC (parameterized classes, or global params if need be) or Hiera. I'll change the version on one node, test it, then an environment, test it, and eventually apply it everywhere. If you need to downgrade/roll back, that *can* work... might work better in the apt/deb world than it does in yum/rpm. 2) Full system updates/upgrades, what RHEL-derivatives term as "distribution upgrades", i.e. updating all packages from CentOS 6.3 to 6.4. I rebuild the box. No reason to mess with doing this through the distro, I just shut it down, clean the cert in puppet, do a fresh PXE boot (and kickstart) and let Puppet do its thing. This has the added benefit of reducing entropy, and even providing a nice DR test (like if you just log in and poweroff immediately...) -Jason On 01/22/2014 09:31 AM, Muhammad Yousuf Khan wrote: > Hello All, > > i have seen so many apt modules on puppet forge website. they are more > like changing source list path defining.
