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.
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> ...
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.
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
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
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
Display a repo from the /etc/opkg/*.conf
CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.get_repo repo
Set package in 'hold' state, meaning it will not be upgraded.
The name of the package, e.g., 'tmux'
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.hold <package name>
A list of packages to hold. Must be passed as a python list.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.hold pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
Return the information of the named package(s), installed on the system.
New in version 2017.7.0.
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.
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
Install the passed package, add refresh=True to update the opkg database.
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>
Whether or not to refresh the package database before installing.
Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.2.3~0ubuntu0. Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.
New in version 2017.7.0.
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.
Multiple Package Installation Options:
A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as a python list.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-0ubuntu0"}]'
A list of IPK 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. Dependencies are automatically resolved and marked as auto-installed.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.deb"},{"bar": "salt://bar.deb"}]'
Whether to install the packages marked as recommended. Default is True.
Only upgrade the packages (disallow downgrades), if they are already installed. Default is False.
New in version 2017.7.0.
Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:
{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
'new': '<new-version>'}}
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> ...
List the packages currently installed in a dict:
{'<package_name>': '<version>'}
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs versions_as_list=True
Lists all repos on /etc/opkg/*.conf
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_repos
List all available package upgrades.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades
Modify one or more values for a repo. If the repo does not exist, it will be created, so long as uri is defined.
The following options are available to modify a repo definition:
alias by which opkg refers to the repo.
the URI to the repo.
defines (True or False) if the index file is compressed
enable or disable (True or False) repository but do not remove if disabled.
enable or disable (True or False) auto-refresh of the repositories
CLI Examples:
salt '*' pkg.mod_repo repo uri=http://new/uri
salt '*' pkg.mod_repo repo enabled=False
Return the name of the package that owns the file. Multiple file paths can
be passed. Like pkg.version <salt.modules.opkg.version
, 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 Example:
salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl
salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl /usr/bin/basename
Package purges are not supported by opkg, this function is identical to
pkg.remove
.

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.
Returns a dict containing the changes.

salt '*' pkg.purge pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
Updates the opkg database to latest packages based upon repositories
Returns a dict, with the keys being package databases and the values being the result of the update attempt. Values can be one of the following:
True
: Database updated successfully
False
: Problem updating database
If False, return results of failed lines as False
for the package
database that encountered the error.
If True, raise an error with a list of the package databases that
encountered errors.
New in version 2018.3.0.

Clean the version string removing extra data. There's nothing do to here for nipkg.py, therefore it will always return the given version.
Do a cmp-style comparison on two packages. Return -1 if pkg1 < pkg2, 0 if pkg1 == pkg2, and 1 if pkg1 > pkg2. Return None if there was a problem making the comparison.
