Rudder

Hello,

• Removes old /var/rudder/cfengine-community/state/packages_updates_*
• Updates /etc/yum.repos.d/rudder.repo, setting its content accordingly
• Ensures that the rudder-agent package is installed and as the latest version
  You'll find below its json description [1]. Don't mind the /etc/yum.repos.d/rudder.repo labels, they're not relevant nor troublesome.

I'm using this technique in a directive and in a rule that I usually keep disabled. From times to times, I'm enabling it to update the rudder-agent packages of around 20 nodes, and it has worked nicely for 3 years.

Yesterday, I upgraded the hub from 7.0.2 to 7.1, and with this rule enabled, the part which ensures the rudder-agent package is showing "Missing report".

• Disable then re-enable the rule
• On the node, run rudder agent run -ui , then rudder agent inventory. I haven't noticed anything weird.
• reboot the node
• regenerate the policies
• reboot the hub
• wait patiently

So far, no change. On the node, the rudder-agent package is at the same version as the content of Normation's repo, so it's OK.
The only thing is that the report is not done
