APT preferences can be used to influence package selection performed by APT during installation or upgrades. You can for example tell APT that you prefer packages from certain repositories or want to hold a package on a particular version no matter what (among other things).
By default, if you don't specify version or provide custom pin configuration,
debops.apt_preferences role will configure specified packages to be installed from
backports repository of the current OS release.
This role requires at least Ansible v1.7.0. To install it, run:
ansible-galaxy install debops.apt_preferencesMore information about debops.apt_preferences can be found in the
official debops.apt_preferences documentation.
You may need to include missing roles from the DebOps common playbook into your playbook.
