Name

apt_repository - Manages apt repositores

Description

Manages apt repositories (such as for Debian/Ubuntu).

Options

repo The repository name/value(required) state The repository state Choices: present,absent. (default: present)."

Notes

This module works on Debian and Ubuntu only and requires apt-add-repository be available on the destination server. To ensure this package is available use the apt module and install the python-software-properties package before using this module.

This module cannot be used on Debian Squeeze (Version 6) as there is no add-apt-repository in python-software-properties

A bug in apt-add-repository always adds deb and deb-src types for repositories (see the issue on Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/987264), if a repo doesn't have source information (eg MongoDB repo from 10gen) the system will fail while updating repositories.

Examples

Add nginx stable repository from PPA

apt_repository: repo=ppa:nginx/stable

Add specified repository into sources.

apt_repository: repo='deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner'
