The apt-cache update can fail due to transient issues related to the
action being a network operation. To reduce the impact of these
transient failures this patch adds a retry to the update_cache task.
However, the apt_repository tasks which would perform an apt_update
won't retry the apt_update on a failure in the same way, as such this PR
moves the apt_update into an individual task, once per role.
Finally, the apt_repository tasks no longer have a changed_when: false,
and the apt_cache update is only performed once per role, if the
repositories change. Otherwise the cache is updated on the "apt" install
tasks if the cache_timeout has been reached.
The installation process is now described as follow:
* you still have to choose a 'ceph_origin' installation method. The
origin can be a 'repository' (add a new repository), distro (it will use
the packages provided by the native repo source of your distribution),
local (only available on redhat system, it installs locally built
packages). This option is not well tested, so use it carefully
* if ceph_origin == 'repository' you will have to decide what kind of
repository you want to enable:
- community: corresponds to the stable upstream/community version
- enterprise: corresponds to the stable enterprise/downstream version
(basically you are a red hat customer)
- dev: it will install ceph from packages built out of the github
