Package support for Solaris
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.
salt.modules.solarispkg.
install
(name=None, sources=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)¶Install the passed package. Can install packages from the following sources:
Locally (package already exists on the minion
HTTP/HTTPS server
FTP server
Salt master
Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:
{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
'new': '<new-version>'}}
CLI Examples:
# Installing a data stream pkg that already exists on the minion
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "/dir/on/minion/<pkg filename>"}]'
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "/var/spool/pkg/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]'
# Installing a data stream pkg that exists on the salt master
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]'
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "salt://pkgs/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]'
CLI Example:
# Installing a data stream pkg that exists on a HTTP server
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "http://packages.server.com/<pkg filename>"}]'
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "http://packages.server.com/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]'
If working with solaris zones and you want to install a package only in the global zone you can pass 'current_zone_only=True' to salt to have the package only installed in the global zone. (Behind the scenes this is passing '-G' to the pkgadd command.) Solaris default when installing a package in the global zone is to install it in all zones. This overrides that and installs the package only in the global.
CLI Example:
# Installing a data stream package only in the global zone:
salt 'global_zone' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "/var/spool/pkg/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]' current_zone_only=True
By default salt automatically provides an adminfile, to automate package installation, with these options set:
email=
instance=quit
partial=nocheck
runlevel=nocheck
idepend=nocheck
rdepend=nocheck
space=nocheck
setuid=nocheck
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
basedir=default
You can override any of these options in two ways. First you can optionally pass any of the options as a kwarg to the module/state to override the default value or you can optionally pass the 'admin_source' option providing your own adminfile to the minions.
Note: You can find all of the possible options to provide to the adminfile by reading the admin man page:
man -s 4 admin
CLI Example:
# Overriding the 'instance' adminfile option when calling the module directly
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]' instance="overwrite"
SLS Example:
# Overriding the 'instance' adminfile option when used in a state
SMClgcc346:
pkg.installed:
- sources:
- SMClgcc346: salt://srv/salt/pkgs/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg
- instance: overwrite
Note
The ID declaration is ignored, as the package name is read from the
sources
parameter.
CLI Example:
# Providing your own adminfile when calling the module directly
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]' admin_source='salt://pkgs/<adminfile filename>'
# Providing your own adminfile when using states
<pkg name>:
pkg.installed:
- sources:
- <pkg name>: salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>
- admin_source: salt://pkgs/<adminfile filename>
Note
The ID declaration is ignored, as the package name is read from the
sources
parameter.
salt.modules.solarispkg.
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> ...
NOTE: As package repositories are not presently supported for Solaris pkgadd, this function will always return an empty string for a given package.
salt.modules.solarispkg.
list_pkgs
(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)¶List the packages currently installed as a dict:
{'<package_name>': '<version>'}
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
salt.modules.solarispkg.
purge
(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)¶Package purges are not supported, this function is identical to
remove()
.
The name of the package to be deleted
Multiple Package Options:
A list of packages to delete. Must be passed as a python list. The
name
parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.
New in version 0.16.0.
Returns a dict containing the changes.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.purge <package name>
salt '*' pkg.purge <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
salt '*' pkg.purge pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt.modules.solarispkg.
remove
(name=None, pkgs=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)¶Remove packages with pkgrm
The name of the package to be deleted
By default salt automatically provides an adminfile, to automate package removal, with these options set:
email=
instance=quit
partial=nocheck
runlevel=nocheck
idepend=nocheck
rdepend=nocheck
space=nocheck
setuid=nocheck
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
basedir=default
You can override any of these options in two ways. First you can optionally pass any of the options as a kwarg to the module/state to override the default value or you can optionally pass the 'admin_source' option providing your own adminfile to the minions.

man -s 4 admin
Multiple Package Options:
A list of packages to delete. Must be passed as a python list. The
name
parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.
New in version 0.16.0.
Returns a dict containing the changes.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.remove <package name>
salt '*' pkg.remove SUNWgit
salt '*' pkg.remove <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt.modules.solarispkg.
upgrade_available
(name)¶Check whether or not an upgrade is available for a given package
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.upgrade_available <package name>
salt.modules.solarispkg.
version
(*names, **kwargs)¶Returns a string representing the package version or an empty string if not installed. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
