Supermarket Belongs to the Community

Supermarket belongs to the community. While Chef has the responsibility to keep it running and be stewards of its functionality, what it does and how it works is driven by the community. The chef/supermarket repository will continue to be where development of the Supermarket application takes place. Come be part of shaping the direction of Supermarket by opening issues and pull requests or by joining us on the Chef Mailing List.

chef-apt-repo

Set up APT repositories for Debian.

Documentation

chef-apt-repo lets you manage apt repositories with
Chef.

Simple example

To add an apt source for a PPA named "foobar/quux" just do this:

ppa "foobar/quux"

To add a repo for a package named "foobar" when using chef-apt-repo,
you might do something like this in your chef recipes:

apt_repo "foobar" do
  key_package "foobar-debian-keyring"
  url "http://deb.example.org/"
end

This would add a file called foobar.list containing a deb line with
the specified URL to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d and install the
package foobar-debian-keyring (which is assumed to contain the GPG
keys used to sign the packages in this repo).

Obtaining GPG keys from a keyserver

Of course you shouldn't just install random keyrings so it might be a
better idea to actually get the key you want from a keyserver before
installing the key package:

apt_repo "foobar" do
  key_package "foobar-debian-keyring"
  url "http://deb.example.org/"
  key_id "8BADF00D"
  keyserver "keyserver.example.org" # defaults to keys.gnupg.net
end

You could also omit the key_package completely, but if there is a
key package it's usually a good idea to install it, since your apt
keyring is always up-to-date that way.

Downloading GPG keys via HTTP

In case you prefer to get your keys via HTTP instead of a keyserver,
you can do so by specifying a key_url in addition to the key_id:

apt_repo "foobar" do
  key_id "8BADF00D"
  key_url "http://keys.example.org/foobar.gpg.key"
  url "http://deb.example.org/"
end

(You still need the key id because it is used in order to determine
whether the key is already installed.)

Specifying distribution and components

The commands above don't specify a distribution or a list of
components, so distribution defaults to the current distribution's
LSB codename (for example "lucid" or "squeeze"), while components
defaults to the "main" component.

If you want to specify a different distribution or components or
enable source packages, you can do so by adding the corresponding
definitions:

apt_repo "foobar" do
  key_id "8BADF00D"
  key_package "foobar-debian-keyring"
  url "http://deb.example.org/"
  distribution "foobar-stable"
  components ["free", "non-free"]
  source_packages true
end

This would roughly correspond to something like this:

cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foobar.list <

Real world examples

chef-apt-repo you might want to have a peek into the recipes

Why chef-apt-repo?

chef-apt-repo predates similar functionality in
Opscode's apt cookbook.

While I have no plans to deprecate this cookbook just yet, I have been
working with the Opscode team to add some missing features to their
cookbook.

If you are starting a new project, I would suggest that you use the
Opscode cookbook instead of this one.
