salt.modules.rpm¶

Support for rpm

salt.modules.rpm.diff(package, path)¶

Return a formatted diff between current file and original in a package. NOTE: this function includes all files (configuration and not), but does not work on binary content.

Parameters:	package -- The name of the package path -- Full path to the installed file
Returns:	Difference or empty string. For binary files only a notification.

CLI example:

salt '*' lowpkg.diff apache2 /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

salt.modules.rpm.file_dict(*packages)¶

List the files that belong to a package, sorted by group. Not specifying any packages will return a list of _every_ file on the system's rpm database (not generally recommended).

CLI Examples:

salt '*' lowpkg.file_dict httpd
salt '*' lowpkg.file_dict httpd postfix
salt '*' lowpkg.file_dict

salt.modules.rpm.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 rpm database (not generally recommended).

CLI Examples:

salt '*' lowpkg.file_list httpd
salt '*' lowpkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' lowpkg.file_list

salt.modules.rpm.list_pkgs(*packages)¶

List the packages currently installed in a dict:

{'<package_name>': '<version>'}

CLI Example:

salt '*' lowpkg.list_pkgs

salt.modules.rpm.modified(*packages, **flags)¶

List the modified files that belong to a package. Not specifying any packages will return a list of _all_ modified files on the system's RPM database.

New in version 2015.5.0.

CLI examples:

salt '*' lowpkg.modified httpd
salt '*' lowpkg.modified httpd postfix
salt '*' lowpkg.modified

salt.modules.rpm.owner(*paths)¶

Return the name of the package that owns the file. Multiple file paths can be passed. If a single path is passed, a string will be returned, and if multiple paths are passed, a dictionary of file/package name pairs will be returned.

If the file is not owned by a package, or is not present on the minion, then an empty string will be returned for that path.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' lowpkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl
salt '*' lowpkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

salt.modules.rpm.verify(*package, **kwargs)¶

Runs an rpm -Va on a system, and returns the results in a dict

Files with an attribute of config, doc, ghost, license or readme in the package header can be ignored using the ignore_types keyword argument

CLI Example:

salt '*' lowpkg.verify
salt '*' lowpkg.verify httpd
salt '*' lowpkg.verify 'httpd postfix'
salt '*' lowpkg.verify 'httpd postfix' ignore_types=['config','doc']
