## Description

Create apt pin files for all packages that have a version specified so `apt-get upgrade` won't

install a different version than what is specified in puppet.

## Usage

Together with the puppetlabs-apt module you can use a manifest like this:

```puppet

# Include the apt module somewhere in your code

include apt

# Add the auto pin resource and make it notify the apt update

apt_auto_pin { 'packages':  notify => Exec['apt_update'] }

# Install packages

package { 'foo': ensure => '0.1.2' }

package { 'bar': ensure => '1.2.3' }

# Ensure that packages are installed after apt-get update

Package<||> { require => Exec['apt_update'] }

```

`auto_apt_pin` doesn't require the puppetlabs-apt module though as it puts plain `File` resources

into `/etc/apt/conf.d`
