salt.states.pkgrepo¶

Management of APT/YUM package repos¶

Package repositories for APT-based and YUM-based distros can be managed with these states. Here is some example SLS:

base:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: CentOS-$releasever - Base
    - mirrorlist: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
    - comments:
        - '#http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/'
    - gpgcheck: 1
    - gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

base:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: Logstash PPA
    - name: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wolfnet/logstash/ubuntu precise main
    - dist: precise
    - file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/logstash.list
    - keyid: 28B04E4A
    - keyserver: keyserver.ubuntu.com
    - require_in:
      - pkg: logstash

  pkg.latest:
    - name: logstash
    - refresh: True

base:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: deb-multimedia
    - name: deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stable main
    - file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb-multimedia.list
    - key_url: salt://deb-multimedia/files/marillat.pub

base:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: Google Chrome
    - name: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
    - dist: stable
    - file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chrome-browser.list
    - require_in:
      - pkg: google-chrome-stable
    - gpgcheck: 1
    - key_url: https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

base:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - ppa: wolfnet/logstash
  pkg.latest:
    - name: logstash
    - refresh: True

salt.states.pkgrepo.absent(name, **kwargs)¶

This function deletes the specified repo on the system, if it exists. It is essentially a wrapper around pkg.del_repo.

name

The name of the package repo, as it would be referred to when running the regular package manager commands.

ppa

On Ubuntu, you can take advantage of Personal Package Archives on Launchpad simply by specifying the user and archive name.

logstash-ppa:
  pkgrepo.absent:
    - ppa: wolfnet/logstash

ppa_auth

For Ubuntu PPAs there can be private PPAs that require authentication to access. For these PPAs the username/password can be specified. This is required for matching if the name format uses the "ppa:" specifier and is private (requires username/password to access, which is encoded in the URI).

logstash-ppa:
  pkgrepo.absent:
    - ppa: wolfnet/logstash
    - ppa_auth: username:password

salt.states.pkgrepo.managed(name, ppa=None, **kwargs)¶

This state manages software package repositories. Currently, yum, apt, and zypper repositories are supported.

YUM OR ZYPPER-BASED SYSTEMS

Note

One of baseurl or mirrorlist below is required. Additionally, note that this state is not presently capable of managing more than one repo in a single repo file, so each instance of this state will manage a single repo file containing the configuration for a single repo.

name

This value will be used in two ways: Firstly, it will be the repo ID, as seen in the entry in square brackets (e.g. [foo]) for a given repo. Secondly, it will be the name of the file as stored in /etc/yum.repos.d (e.g. /etc/yum.repos.d/foo.conf).

humanname

This is used as the "name" value in the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ (or /etc/zypp/repos.d for Suse distros).

baseurl

The URL to a yum repository

mirrorlist

A URL which points to a file containing a collection of baseurls

comments

Sometimes you want to supply additional information, but not as enabled configuration. Anything supplied for this list will be saved in the repo configuration with a comment marker (#) in front.

Additional configuration values seen in yum repo files, such as gpgkey or gpgcheck, will be used directly as key-value pairs. For example:

foo:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - humanname: Personal repo for foo
    - baseurl: https://mydomain.tld/repo/foo/$releasever/$basearch
    - gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/foo-signing-key
    - gpgcheck: 1

APT-BASED SYSTEMS

ppa

On Ubuntu, you can take advantage of Personal Package Archives on Launchpad simply by specifying the user and archive name. The keyid will be queried from launchpad and everything else is set automatically. You can override any of the below settings by simply setting them as you would normally. For example:

logstash-ppa:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - ppa: wolfnet/logstash

ppa_auth

For Ubuntu PPAs there can be private PPAs that require authentication to access. For these PPAs the username/password can be passed as an HTTP Basic style username/password combination.

logstash-ppa:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - ppa: wolfnet/logstash
    - ppa_auth: username:password

name

On apt-based systems this must be the complete entry as it would be seen in the sources.list file. This can have a limited subset of components (i.e. 'main') which can be added/modified with the comps option.

precise-repo:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - name: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main

Note

The above example is intended as a more readable way of configuring the SLS, it is equivalent to the following:

'deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main':
  pkgrepo.managed

disabled

Toggles whether or not the repo is used for resolving dependencies and/or installing packages.

enabled

Enables the repository, even if the repository has been disabled, in order for the respective package requiring the repository can be found and installed.

comps

On apt-based systems, comps dictate the types of packages to be installed from the repository (e.g. main, nonfree, ...). For purposes of this, comps should be a comma-separated list.

file

The filename for the .list that the repository is configured in. It is important to include the full-path AND make sure it is in a directory that APT will look in when handling packages

dist

This dictates the release of the distro the packages should be built for. (e.g. unstable). This option is rarely needed.

keyid

The KeyID of the GPG key to install. This option also requires the keyserver option to be set.

keyserver

This is the name of the keyserver to retrieve gpg keys from. The keyid option must also be set for this option to work.

key_url

URL to retrieve a GPG key from. Allows the usage of http://, https:// as well as salt://.

Note

Use either keyid/keyserver or key_url, but not both.

consolidate

If set to true, this will consolidate all sources definitions to the sources.list file, cleanup the now unused files, consolidate components (e.g. main) for the same URI, type, and architecture to a single line, and finally remove comments from the sources.list file. The consolidate will run every time the state is processed. The option only needs to be set on one repo managed by salt to take effect.

refresh_db

If set to false this will skip refreshing the apt package database on debian based systems.

require_in

Set this to a list of pkg.installed or pkg.latest to trigger the running of apt-get update prior to attempting to install these packages. Setting a require in the pkg will not work for this.
