document the origin configurations in README about puppet-unattended_upgrades HOT 5 CLOSED

I'd be great if someone could add this to README.md.

from puppet-unattended_upgrades.

Got it out of the source code. You have to setup the origins array like that

origins   => [
  "origin=Debian,n=oldstable",
  "origin=Debian,n=oldstable-updates",
  "origin=Debian,n=oldstable-proposed-updates",
  "origin=Debian,n=oldstable,l=Debian-Security",
]

but in that case you have to check (with an if clause or something else) which distribution you'll use first.

Is there a "proper" way to simply append an origin to the default ones?

I guess the parameter 'extra_origins' (Array) will satisfy your needs.
In my case I used this:

  class { 'unattended_upgrades':
    extra_origins        => [
      '${distro_id}ESM:${distro_codename}',         #lint:ignore:single_quote_string_with_variables
      '${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates',    #lint:ignore:single_quote_string_with_variables
    ]
  }

Exactly, can't figure out how to declare the origins.
