[rudder-users] apt_detected_distro limitations

Hi,

I thought I'd try and use Rudder to get the agents to upgrade themselves.
Unfortunately the version of aptPackageManagerSettings.cf in Rudder 4.5.1
and 4.7.1 seems not to know about 16.04/Xenial (which is most of my
endpoints). So when I use the "Package sources and settings (APT)"
directive with "Automatically detect the distribution" I get this:

### Managed by Rudder, edit with care ###
deb http://www.rudder-project.org/apt-repos/4.1.7-2/ ${apt_detected_distro}
main


Can anyone suggest a better way to roll out agent updates? Or is there a
better way of keeping aptPackageManagerSettings.cf updated?

Thanks!

Rob
