The upgrade notes only describe necessary changes that you might need to make to your setup in order to use a new role release. Refer to the :ref:`apt__ref_changelog` for more details about what has changed.
Make sure to read the Changelog for all of the important changes. Some variables were renamed or removed, you might need to update your inventory. For this you might find the following script useful which can rename a subset of the changed variables in your inventory:
.. literalinclude:: scripts/upgrade-from-v0.3.x-to-v0.4.x :language: shell
The script is bundled with this role under :file:`./docs/scripts/upgrade-from-v0.3.x-to-v0.4.x` and can be invoked from their. Note that not all variable names can be updated automatically.
The method of configuring "delayed repositories" has been changed from
a separate variable lists to using the state
parameter and local facts.
Refer to :ref:`apt__ref_defaults_detailed`.
The order of the APT sources in the :file:`/etc/apt/sources.list` file has been changed; first the sources from Ansible inventory (if any) are configured, then the original sources (if detected), then the default mirrors, and security sources afterwards. This seems to be the preferred ordering of the entries, which allows downloading of the packages from the closes sources if available. The order can be configured using the :envvar:`apt__combined_sources` list.
The APT proxy configuration has been moved to debops.apt_proxy_. Consult its documentation to see how to configure it. The current proxy configuration (:file:`/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/000apt-cacher-ng-proxy`) is left in place on existing systems. You might consider removing it when another role (like debops.apt_proxy_) manages the APT proxy configuration. The file can be removed using the debops.resources_ role and the following snippet in your inventory:
resources__files:
- path: '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/000apt-cacher-ng-proxy'
state: 'absent'
Note that debops.apt_proxy_ will pick up proxy servers specified via the debops.environment_ role. In case you run a separate proxy server for APT (as configurable by debops.apt_cacher_ng_) you might prefer the behavior of v0.2.0 where the APT proxy was specified separately.
In that case you might find the following script useful which can update your inventory accordingly:
.. literalinclude:: scripts/upgrade-proxy-from-v0.2.x-to-v0.3.x :language: shell
The script is bundled with this role under :file:`./docs/scripts/upgrade-proxy-from-v0.2.x-to-v0.3.x` and can be invoked from their.
The :command:`apt-listchanges` package is managed using debops.apt_listchanges_
role. The apticron
package is currently not installed by default (it is not
removed on existing systems).
