Bug #10241

"Package management" technique missing "allow untrusted" switch
Description
The deprecated "Package management for Debian / Ubuntu / APT systems" technique had "Allow untrusted package installation" ("APT_PACKAGE_ALLOW_UNTRUSTED") switch to produce appropriate apt call.
As far as I view, the new "Package management" technique has no.
It is bad practice to turn off key validation global, while sometimes there is real need in installation of local built package (e.g. "testing"/"staging" deployment steps).
In rpm-based (RH, SUSE) it can be tuned repo-wide, while deb-based with apt must be hinted on each call.
So, at this moment "Package management" in not valid replace for "Package management for Debian / Ubuntu / APT systems".

This can be implemented using options passed directly to the package manager (which are now usable in the apt_get module).

This is clearly high priority - we are replacing old package Techniques with this new one. If it is missing a feature, this is something we have overlooked, since the new Package Techniques are designed to replace the old ones. Moving this to bug and setting high priority.
Please work on a fix.

Updated by Alexis Mousset over 7 years ago
As I wrote in the previous comment, we can quite easily implement it for apt/dpkg.
We need to:
- Synchronize package modules from masterfiles (as the feature we need was not implemented when adding new package methods in Rudder)
- Add a new method to allow using options
- Find a way to add this option to the technique (but only for apt/dpkg for now)
For other package managers, if possible, it would require adding options handling to the package modules.

Hi! Since Rudder 4.1, no means left to install unsigned .deb. (Except of NCF-scenario, that is not yet covered with API, but API is needed to work around the absence of granular RBAC).
Therefore, 4.1.x is now (out-of-the-box) unsuitable for deb-based testing environments.

We now have access to package manager options through package_state_options in ncf, but we still need to define the new option(s) and create the 1.1 version of the technique.

It is ok to have options that only work on specific package managers as along as it's properly indicated.

Please, look at http://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/11207 before release.
"apt_get repo-install" instead of "apt_get install" makes technique unusable for debian|ubuntu.
