salt.modules.pkg_resource¶

Resources needed by pkg providers

salt.modules.pkg_resource.add_pkg(pkgs, name, version)¶

Add a package to a dict of installed packages.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.add_pkg '{}' bind 9

salt.modules.pkg_resource.check_extra_requirements(pkgname, pkgver)¶

Check if the installed package already has the given requirements. This function will simply try to call "pkg.check_extra_requirements".

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.check_extra_requirements <pkgname> <extra_requirements>

salt.modules.pkg_resource.pack_sources(sources)¶

Accepts list of dicts (or a string representing a list of dicts) and packs the key/value pairs into a single dict.

'[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]' would become {"foo": "salt://foo.rpm", "bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.pack_sources '[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

salt.modules.pkg_resource.parse_targets(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)¶

Parses the input to pkg.install and returns back the package(s) to be installed. Returns a list of packages, as well as a string noting whether the packages are to come from a repository or a binary package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.parse_targets

salt.modules.pkg_resource.sort_pkglist(pkgs)¶

Accepts a dict obtained from pkg.list_pkgs() and sorts in place the list of versions for any packages that have multiple versions installed, so that two package lists can be compared to one another.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.sort_pkglist '["3.45", "2.13"]'

salt.modules.pkg_resource.stringify(pkgs)¶

Takes a dict of package name/version information and joins each list of installed versions into a string.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.stringify 'vim: 7.127'

salt.modules.pkg_resource.version(*names, **kwargs)¶

Common interface for obtaining the version of installed packages.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.version vim
salt '*' pkg_resource.version foo bar baz
salt '*' pkg_resource.version 'python*'

salt.modules.pkg_resource.version_clean(version)¶

Clean the version string removing extra data. This function will simply try to call pkg.version_clean.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg_resource.version_clean <version_string>
