Moving to pip for the salt package

[Rémy Dernat]

Hi,

I am currently managing my salt-minions installs through the distro package and I would like to switch to the pip way. The idea is to get a more recent and a more homogeneous package on my minions.

Is there anyone here who already wrote a formula for this purpose ?

Best regards,

Rémy

Hi Rémy, just want to make sure you're aware of http://repo.saltstack.com/ - which offers recent packages.

Hi Nick,

Yes, I am aware of this URL, but I always used distro specific installs with ditro/package repositories. I think I will dig into the bootstrap file to install the same version on all my minions with pip (-P option).

Thanks,
Rémy

You cannot install using pip from the bootstrap, that is specifically for installing some dependencies with pip, not salt.

using the bootstrap script, you can specify which stable version to install on most distributions.  `bash bootstrap.sh stable 2017.7.1`

This does not work for distros like ArchLinux where we do not package for them in the repo, and where they do not keep older versions in their repos.

If you want to make sure that you can pin older versions, you should install with git using the bootstrap `bash bootstrap.sh git v2016.11.5` and specify which git tag to build from.

Salt bootstrap via the -a flag does support installing salt via pip: https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/blob/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh#L369
