Killing apt::force
daenney opened this issue · comments
I was looking at apt::force and I want to kill it. The way it forces a package to be installed from a specific release is entirely horrible. Doing it in such a way should really be a last resort and might cause weird behaviour as policies change or newer packages start rolling in to different mirrors.
The correct way of doing this is dropping a pin/preferences file in apt that causes the policy to reflect the origin you want those packages from and then just leveraging Puppet's package type's ensure attribute to do the rest.
