salt.modules.zypper

Package support for openSUSE via the zypper package manager

Important

If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and it is using a different module (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not available), see here.

depends:
  • zypp Python module. Install with zypper install python-zypp
salt.modules.zypper.add_lock(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)

Add a package lock. Specify packages to lock by exact name.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.add_lock <package name>
salt '*' pkg.add_lock <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
salt '*' pkg.add_lock pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt.modules.zypper.clean_locks()

Remove unused locks that do not currently (with regard to repositories used) lock any package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.clean_locks
salt.modules.zypper.del_repo(repo)

Delete a repo.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.del_repo alias
salt.modules.zypper.diff(*paths)

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

Parameters:path -- Full path to the installed file
Returns:Difference string or raises and exception if examined file is binary.

CLI example:

salt '*' pkg.diff /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/sudoers
salt.modules.zypper.download(*packages)

Download packages to the local disk.

CLI example:

salt '*' pkg.download httpd
salt '*' pkg.download httpd postfix
salt.modules.zypper.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 rpm database (not generally recommended).

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' pkg.file_list
salt.modules.zypper.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.modules.zypper.install(name=None, refresh=False, fromrepo=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)

Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to run 'zypper refresh' before package is installed.

name

The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this option can only be used to install packages from a software repository. To install a package file manually, use the "sources" option.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.install <package name>
refresh
Whether or not to refresh the package database before installing.
fromrepo
Specify a package repository to install from.
version
Can be either a version number, or the combination of a comparison operator (<, >, <=, >=, =) and a version number (ex. '>1.2.3-4'). This parameter is ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

Multiple Package Installation Options:

pkgs

A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as a python list. A specific version number can be specified by using a single-element dict representing the package and its version. As with the version parameter above, comparison operators can be used to target a specific version of a package.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4"}]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "<1.2.3-4"}]'
sources

A list of RPM 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.rpm"},{"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
               'new': '<new-version>'}}
salt.modules.zypper.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)

Return the latest version of the named package available for upgrade or installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.

If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will be returned for that package.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
salt.modules.zypper.list_installed_patterns()

List installed patterns on the system.

CLI Examples:

salt.modules.zypper.list_locks()

List current package locks.

Return a dict containing the locked package with attributes:

{'<package>': {'case_sensitive': '<case_sensitive>',
               'match_type': '<match_type>'
               'type': '<type>'}}

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.list_locks
salt.modules.zypper.list_patterns()

List all known patterns from available repos.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.list_patterns
salt.modules.zypper.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)

enabled

Key/Value pairs may also be removed from a repo's configuration by setting a key to a blank value. Bear in mind that a name cannot be deleted, and a url can only be deleted if a mirrorlist is specified (or vice versa).

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.mod_repo alias alias=new_alias
salt '*' pkg.mod_repo alias url= mirrorlist=http://host.com/
