salt.modules.opkg

Support for Opkg

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.

New in version 2016.3.0.

Note

For version comparison support on opkg < 0.3.4, the opkg-utils package must be installed.

salt.modules.opkg.available_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 <package name>
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

salt.modules.opkg.check_extra_requirements(pkgname, pkgver)

Check if the installed package already has the given requirements. There's nothing do to here for nipkg.py, therefore it will always return True.

salt.modules.opkg.del_repo(repo, **kwargs)

Delete a repo from /etc/opkg/*.conf

If the file does not contain any other repo configuration, the file itself will be deleted.

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.del_repo repo

salt.modules.opkg.file_dict(*packages, **kwargs)

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 package database (not generally recommended).

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' pkg.file_list

salt.modules.opkg.file_list(*packages, **kwargs)

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

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
salt '*' pkg.file_list

salt.modules.opkg.get_repo(repo, **kwargs)

Display a repo from the /etc/opkg/*.conf

CLI Examples:

salt '*' pkg.get_repo repo

salt.modules.opkg.hold(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)

Set package in 'hold' state, meaning it will not be upgraded.

name

The name of the package, e.g., 'tmux'

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.hold <package name>

pkgs

A list of packages to hold. Must be passed as a python list.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.hold pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

salt.modules.opkg.info_installed(*names, **kwargs)

Return the information of the named package(s), installed on the system.

New in version 2017.7.0.

Parameters:

• names -- Names of the packages to get information about. If none are specified, will return information for all installed packages.

• attr --

  Comma-separated package attributes. If no 'attr' is specified, all available attributes returned.

  Valid attributes are:

  arch, conffiles, conflicts, depends, description, filename, group, install_date_time_t, md5sum, packager, provides, recommends, replaces, size, source, suggests, url, version

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.info_installed
salt '*' pkg.info_installed attr=version,packager
salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1>
salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> attr=version,packager
salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> ... attr=version,packager

salt.modules.opkg.install(name=None, refresh=False, pkgs=None, sources=None, reinstall=False, **kwargs)

Install the passed package, add refresh=True to update the opkg database.

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.

version

Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.2.3~0ubuntu0. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

Note

Remember that versions that contain a single . will be interpreted as numbers and must be double-quoted. For example, version 3006.10 will be rendered as 3006.1. To pass 3006.10 you'll need to use double-quotes. version="'3006.10'"

New in version 2017.7.0.

reinstallFalse

Specifying reinstall=True will use opkg install --force-reinstall rather than simply opkg install for requested packages that are already installed.

If a version is specified with the requested package, then opkg install --force-reinstall will only be used if the installed version matches the requested version.

New in version 2017.7.0.
