pkg.refresh_db for windows makes winrepo.p only in repo not in reppo-ng

[marwooj]

How to configure salt for using winrepo-ng?

There is  "Unable to locate package firefox" in minion logs

Morever I am always getting "Minion did not return. [No response]" for windows minion ping while for linux minion responds are lighting fast.

I also see test.ping job in windows minion logs.

Regards.

ENV IS :

salt 2015.8.3 (Beryllium)

and 

Salt-Minion-2015.8.3-x86-Setup.exe 

[marwooj]

Added 

multiprocessing: False

So I can ping now :-).

Now I need to resolve "Unable to locate package firefox"

Looks like there is documentation to set up winrepo for salt  here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/windows/windows-package-manager.html

There are also available sls files to use to be able to install packages located here: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/configuration/master.html

[marwooj]

It looks like all of these settings are set by default, and there is no need to configure anything.

The strange part is that:

sudo salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.list_pkgs

works just fine

but when I try to purge something that is already installed, I am getting:

        Unable to locate package Notepad++

I actually have never setup the windows repository so I apologize in advanced if my response is not helpful.

1. Have you setup the sls file for firefox similar to the example:  https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/windows/windows-package-manager.html#creating-a-package-definition-sls-file

Seems this is required in order to install or uninstall a package. If you add a sls file i believe you have to regenerate your repo again as a side note 

2. If the above doesn't help is there anything useful in your master or minion debug logs?

[marwooj]

1. I think SLS file is downloaded from git repo  when you do:

sudo salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos

and it is located in:

/srv/salt/win/repo-ng/salt-winrepo-ng/firefox.sls

Doc says there is no need for :

sudo salt-run winrepo.genrepo

after salt 2015.0 and I have 2015.8.3

I do not see anything interesting in trace:

I have almost got it:

I had :

file_roots:

  base:

    - /srv/salt/prod

  qa:

    - /srv/salt/qa

    - /srv/salt/prod

  dev:

    - /srv/salt/dev

    - /srv/salt/qa

    - /srv/salt/prod

I have commented these out. And it works now :-)

So now I have to to figure out how to have multiple environments. And winrepos.

Does this help? https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/windows/windows-package-manager.html#custom-location-for-repository-sls-files

[damona]

Did you work this out in the end with the repo-ng .....  There seems to be some missing bits in the doco???

[damona]

If you have moved the base environment one fix is a symbolic link link below in the file_roots. Otherwise you need to update where master configuration (WINREPO_DIR_NG)

So its within the file_roots

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 379 Mar  6 16:24 top.sls

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root  13 Mar  6 17:20 win -> /srv/salt/win

 

The symbolic link is most likely a better option if you just one copy of it.
