salt.modules.pkgng

Support for pkgng, the new package manager for FreeBSD

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.

Warning

This module has been completely rewritten. Up to and including version 0.17.x, it was available as the pkgng module, (pkgng.install, pkgng.delete, etc.), but moving forward this module will no longer be available as pkgng, as it will behave like a normal Salt pkg provider. The documentation below should not be considered to apply to this module in versions <= 0.17.x. If your minion is running a 0.17.x release or older, then the documentation for this module can be viewed using the sys.doc function:

salt bsdminion sys.doc pkgng

This module provides an interface to pkg(8). It acts as the default package provider for FreeBSD 10 and newer. For FreeBSD hosts which have been upgraded to use pkgng, you will need to override the pkg provider by setting the providers parameter in your Minion config file, in order to use this module to manage packages, like so:

providers:
  pkg: pkgng

salt '*' pkg.upgrade <package name> fetchonly=True

salt.modules.pkgng.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.

Note

This function can accessed using pkg.info in addition to pkg.version, to more closely match the CLI usage of pkg(8).

jail

Get package version information for the specified jail

chroot

Get package version information for the specified chroot (ignored if jail is specified)

root

Get package version information for the specified root (ignored if jail is specified)

with_originFalse

Return a nested dictionary containing both the origin name and version for each specified package.

New in version 2014.1.0.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.version <package name> jail=<jail name or id>
salt '*' pkg.version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

salt.modules.pkgng.version_cmp(pkg1, pkg2, ignore_epoch=False, **kwargs)

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.

CLI Example:

salt '*' pkg.version_cmp '2.1.11' '2.1.12'
