Description

Current release: 2015.5.2

This repository is for release candidate builds of Salt, as well as official releases, for those that do not want to wait for EPEL to be updated.

Looking for RHEL/CentOS 5 builds?

They are in a separate COPR. This is due to a lack of continuing support for Python 2.6 packages in EPEL5, making it necessary for us to have a separate repo for RHEL/CentOS 5 containing all Python 2.6 dependencies.

Installation Instructions

WARNING

Starting with version 2014.7.0rc4, the following components of Salt have been broken out of the salt-master package and placed into their own new packages:

• salt-syndic
• salt-cloud
• salt-ssh
• salt-api

If you are using any of these components, and are upgrading from a version of Salt earlier than 2014.7.0rc4, then when the updated salt-master package is installed these components will be removed, and they will need to be manually installed.

What packages does this repo provide?

• salt - Common files
• salt-master - salt-master daemon
• salt-minion - salt-minion daemon
• salt-syndic - salt-syndic daemon
• salt-cloud - Cloud controller for Salt
• salt-ssh - Agentless SSH-based Salt tool
• salt-api - Salt's REST API

Enabling This Repository

Manually

To manually enable this repository, download the appropriate repo file from the Active Releases section below and place it into /etc/yum.repos.d.

Using Salt

This repo can be enabled using a pkgrepo.managed state, for easier deployment to your minions:

{% if grains['os'] in ('RedHat', 'CentOS', 'Fedora') %}
  {% if grains['os'] == 'Fedora' %}
    {% set repotype = 'fedora' %}
  {% else %}
    {% set repotype = 'epel' %}
  {% endif %}
saltstack-copr:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: Copr repo for salt owned by saltstack
    - baseurl: http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/saltstack/salt/{{ repotype }}-{{ salt['grains.get']('osmajorrelease', 'unknown') }}-$basearch/
    - gpgkey: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/saltstack/salt/pubkey.gpg
    - gpgcheck: 1
    - skip_if_unavailable: True
    - enabled: 1
{% endif %}

Alternatively, the repo file can be downloaded from the Yum Repos list below and then deployed using a file.managed state:

{% if grains['os'] in ('RedHat', 'CentOS', 'Fedora') %}
  {% if grains['os'] == 'Fedora' %}
    {% set repotype = 'fedora' %}
  {% else %}
    {% set repotype = 'epel' %}
  {% endif %}
/etc/yum.repos.d/saltstack-salt-{{ repotype }}-{{ salt['grains.get']('osmajorrelease', 'unknown') }}.repo:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://path/to/saltstack-salt-{{ repotype }}-{{ salt['grains.get']('osmajorrelease', 'unknown') }}.repo
    - user: root
    - group: root
    - mode: 644
{% endif %}

Either of the above two methods can be combined with a pkg.latest state to upgrade the salt-minion package, and a cmd.wait state to restart the salt-minion service.

{% if grains['os'] in ('RedHat', 'CentOS', 'Fedora') %}
update_salt:
  pkg:
    - latest
    - name: salt-minion
    - order: last
  cmd:
    - wait
    - name: echo service salt-minion restart | at now + 1 minute
    - watch:
      - pkg: update_salt
{% endif %}

Note: This example assumes that atd is installed and running, see here for a more detailed explanation.
