Updating debian in cfengine

[Alexander JOLK]

Hi,

in order to share what I'm doing, here's how I make sure all my Debian
machines are up-to-date.  I don't want them to auto-install anything,
but I wanted a mail when there was anything of interest in the archives:

copy:
  debian::
   $(masterfiles)/etc/apt/sources.list
               dest=/etc/apt/sources.list
               type=checksum o=root g=root m=644
               server=$(fileserver) trustkey=true
shellcommands:
  debian.longjob::
   "/usr/bin/apt-get -qq update; /usr/bin/apt-get -qq -s dist-upgrade"

(The -qq option shuts apt-get up about anything but errors and, in this
case, packages to be installed.)

Hope this can be of use to somebody,
        Alex
