This should be a fairly short description helps the user decide if your module is what they want.

What apt_dater affects

This module install apt-dater-host on managed Debian machines and apt-dater on a central node to perform update from a single point.

Usage

Managed nodes

On managed node you can export the host to the central node via the Puppet Store Config functionality.

You can export the host yourself with de defined type apt_dater::host or let the module do it for you:

class { 'apt_dater':
  ensure        => 'present',
  export_host   => true,
  export_config => {
     user  => 'update_user',
     group => 'Databases',
  },
  collect_tag  => 'production', 
}

Central node

To collect all exported nodes on the central update node, you can use this:

class { 'apt_dater':
  ensure         => 'present',
  export_host    => true,
  export_config  => {
     user  => 'root',
     host  => 'localhost',
     group => 'Management',
  },
  collect_hosts => true,
  collect_tag   => 'production', 
}

Limitations

Only Debian-like operating systems are supported as apt-dater is tied to aptitude/apt package manager.
