Description
===========

`apt` is an ansible role which was built to help you with:

 * updating the apt-cache
 * lets you control the configuration of apt by modifing the content of `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d`
 * optionally install additional packages

I use the role as part of my common setup.

I hope it helps!

Testing
===========

For your convience I also added test-kitchen for testing, please find attached the test kitchen.yml file for:

* Debian Jessie
* Debian Squeeze
* Ubuntu Vivid Vervet
* Ubuntu Trusty Tahr
* Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn

```lang
$ ansible-galaxy install lxhunter.apt
$ cd /usr/local/etc/ansible/roles/lxhunter.apt
$ kitchen test
```

#### Requirements for test kitchen

I used homebrew with rbenv for ruby on osx.

required:
```shell
$ gem install test-kitchen kitchen-docker kitchen-ansible kitchen-vagrant
```

Requirements
===========

This role requires Ansible 1.4 or higher.

Tested and supported:
* Debian Jessie
* Debian Squeeze
* Ubuntu Vivid Vervet
* Ubuntu Trusty Tahr
* Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn

Optional Variables
===========

These are the turning knobs and their default values, if you like to change em, just go ahead.

```yaml
# Default: Sets the amount of time the cache is valid (5m)
apt_cache_valid_time: 3600

# apt by default does not specify whether or not “recommended” packages should be installed.
# apt by default does not specify whether or not “suggested” packages should be installed.
apt_config:
  - { key: 'APT::Install-Recommends', value: 'false', file: '10general' }
  - { key: 'APT::Install-Suggests', value: 'false', file: '10general' }

# Optional: Array of additional packages
apt_install_packages: ['sudo']

# Optional: Array of packages to be purged
apt_purge_packages: ['rpcbind']

```

Examples
===========

Like so you can include the role in your setup:

```shell
# playbook.yml

- { role: lxhunter.apt }
```
