Description

deployment-deploy04 applies role::aptly::server to host a project-local Apt repository, which I believe was used to host the latest development Scap release a while ago. That's no longer in use, and the role in question hasn't been updated since Debian Stretch and is not used anywhere else. So let's just drop that role entirely?

@dancy Is this apt repo dead tech? It seems likely to me, but seemed worth double checking with you.

It was indeed used to host scap debs in the past but that changed long ago so it's good to remove.

I think I got all the important bits cleaned up. Feel free to reopen if you feel like there is something that was missed.

I want to remove the now-unused Puppet role as well.
