Description

I have run a "rudder agent run" to test some changes, on my slowly nodes I can observe the rudder(cfengine) steps easily and I'm surprised to see "/usr/bin/aptitude --assume-yes --simulate --verbose full-upgrade" in begin of run.

2 observations:
- why simulate a full-upgrade at each run, it's very time consumption
- is-it possible to use apt-get and not aptitude ? On my system aptitude don't work (my /var/lib/aptitude/ is daily purged)

ncharles talk about fetching the list of patches from the cfengine stdlib

Is it possible to remove this ?

  • Priority changed from N/A to 2
  • Target version set to 2.11.14

this is something that comes from the cfengine standart librairy (i know that is not a good reason)
Aptitude is used by defaut if you have /usr/bin/aptitude binary on the system

For the full upgrade, it is to get the list of patches, which is surely non relevant... we should remove it fro mdefaut implementation
