Remote package support using pkg_add(1)
Warning
This module has been completely rewritten. Up to and including version
0.17.0, it supported pkg_add(1)
, but checked for the existence of a
pkgng local database and, if found, would provide some of pkgng's
functionality. The rewrite of this module has removed all pkgng support,
and moved it to the pkgng
execution module. For
versions <= 0.17.0, the documentation here should not be considered
accurate. If your Minion is running one of these versions, then the
documentation for this module can be viewed using the sys.doc
function:
salt bsdminion sys.doc pkg
This module acts as the default package provider for FreeBSD 9 and older. If
you need to use pkgng on a FreeBSD 9 system, you will need to override the
pkg
provider by setting the providers
parameter in your
Minion config file, in order to use pkgng.
providers:
pkg: pkgng
More information on pkgng support can be found in the documentation for the
pkgng
module.
This module will respect the PACKAGEROOT
and PACKAGESITE
environment
variables, if set, but these values can also be overridden in several ways:
Salt configuration parameters. The configuration parameters
freebsdpkg.PACKAGEROOT
and freebsdpkg.PACKAGESITE
are recognized.
These config parameters are looked up using config.get
and can thus be specified in the Master config
file, Grains, Pillar, or in the Minion config file. Example:
freebsdpkg.PACKAGEROOT: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/
freebsdpkg.PACKAGESITE: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ia64/packages-9-stable/Latest/
CLI arguments. Both the packageroot
(used interchangeably with
fromrepo
for API compatibility) and packagesite
CLI arguments are
recognized, and override their config counterparts from section 1 above.
salt -G 'os:FreeBSD' pkg.install zsh fromrepo=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/
salt -G 'os:FreeBSD' pkg.install zsh packageroot=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/
salt -G 'os:FreeBSD' pkg.install zsh packagesite=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ia64/packages-9-stable/Latest/
.. note::
These arguments can also be passed through in states:
.. code-block:: yaml
zsh:
pkg.installed:
- fromrepo: ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
file_dict
(*packages)¶List the files that belong to a package, grouped by package. Not specifying any packages will return a list of _every_ file on the system's package database (not generally recommended).
CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' pkg.file_list
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
file_list
(*packages)¶List the files that belong to a package. Not specifying any packages will return a list of _every_ file on the system's package database (not generally recommended).
CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' pkg.file_list
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
install
(name=None, refresh=False, fromrepo=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)¶Install package(s) using pkg_add(1)
Multiple Package Installation Options:
A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as a python list.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
A list of packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local path to the package.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.deb"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.deb"}]'
Return a dict containing the new package names and versions:
{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
'new': '<new-version>'}}
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.install <package name>
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
latest_version
(*names, **kwargs)¶pkg_add(1)
is not capable of querying for remote packages, so this
function will always return results as if there is no package available for
install or upgrade.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
list_pkgs
(versions_as_list=False, with_origin=False, **kwargs)¶List the packages currently installed as a dict:
{'<package_name>': '<version>'}
Return a nested dictionary containing both the origin name and version for each installed package.
New in version 2014.1.0.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
refresh_db
()¶pkg_add(1)
does not use a local database of available packages, so this
function simply returns True
. it exists merely for API compatibility.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.refresh_db
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
remove
(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)¶Remove packages using pkg_delete(1)
Multiple Package Options:
name
parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.New in version 0.16.0.
Returns a dict containing the changes.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.remove <package name>
salt '*' pkg.remove <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
upgrade
()¶Upgrades are not supported with pkg_add(1)
. This function is included
for API compatibility only and always returns an empty dict.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.upgrade
salt.modules.freebsdpkg.
version
(*names, **kwargs)¶Returns a string representing the package version or an empty string if not installed. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.
Return a nested dictionary containing both the origin name and version for each specified package.
New in version 2014.1.0.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
