CDIST-TYPE__APT_DEFAULT_RELEASE 💅

okay bestie, this is a cdist type manpage — specifically the cdist-type__apt_default_release one (section 7, for the nerds keeping score 📓). It's a whole vibe, it's short, it's slay, and it does exactly one thing. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

cdist-type__apt_default_release — configure the default release for apt 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. What this type does is set the default release for apt, and it does that by way of the APT::Default-Release configuration value. That's it. That's the whole job. Lowkey iconic that it knows its lane ✨

👑 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 👑

You must hand it this one, no skipping, no excuses, periodt 💅

  • release — the value you want APT::Default-Release to be set to.

This little cutie can hold a release name, a codename, or a release version. All three are valid, she contains multitudes 🦋

Examples, straight from the source, no cap: 'stable', 'testing', 'unstable', 'stretch', 'buster', '4.0', '5.0*'.

🎀 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

None. There are literally zero. Not one. The way this type said "no extras, no add-ons, I'm a minimalist" 😌✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Here's the moment you've been waiting for, the main character energy example:

__apt_default_release --release stretch

and that's it, that's the whole thing, she ate 🔥

okay so real talk: the release parameter is required, so if you roll up without it, that's not gonna fly bestie 💀 also worth saying out loud — this is what feeds APT::Default-Release, so you're changing which release apt treats as the default. Be a little mindful, yeah? 🫶

and that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 This lil number is from cdist version 7.0.0, dated Jul 31, 202 (the footer got a teensy bit clipped in the source, we don't talk about it 🙈) — anyway, ily, go configure your apt default release, slay, bye 🎀💖✨
