Rudder

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.
