💖 cdist-type__apt_source — bestie edition 💖

okay so you're reading the cdist-type__apt_source page from the cdist manual (that's the manual name, she's famous, iykyk) and honestly? you're about to have the easiest time of your life managing apt sources. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cdist-type__apt_source — manage apt sources, but make it iconic 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This cdist type lets you manage apt sources. and the best part?? it invokes index update internally when needed, so you do NOT have to go call the index updating type yourself. no extra steps, no chaos, no "wait did i forget something" panic at 3am 😭 it's giving considerate. it's giving self-sufficient. periodt.

👑 REQUIRED PARAMETERS 👑

these are non-negotiable bestie, you must give her these:

  • uri — the uri to the apt repository 🫶

🎀 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

the little extras, the accessories to the outfit:

  • arch — set this if you need to force a specific arch (this one is ubuntu specific, just so you know 👀)
  • signed-by — hand over a GPG key fingerprint or a keyring path so signature checks can happen 🔐
  • state — either 'present' or 'absent', and if you don't say anything she defaults to 'present' ✨
  • distribution — the distribution codename to use. defaults to DISTRIB_CODENAME from the target's /etc/lsb-release 🌈
  • component — space delimited list of components to enable. defaults to an empty string 💀 (yes, empty, that's the vibe)
  • include-src — (this one's a boolean, booleans get their own section below but hi) include deb-src entries 🍓

💅 BOOLEAN PARAMETERS 💅

  • include-src — include deb-src entries. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 🧚
