Homebrew for Mac OS X
Return the latest version of the named package available for upgrade or installation
Note that this currently not fully implemented but needs to return something to avoid a traceback when calling pkg.latest.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.available_version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.available_version <package1> <package2> <package3>
Compare two version strings. Return -1 if version1 < version2, 0 if version1 == version2, and 1 if version1 > version2. Return None if there was a problem making the comparison.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.compare '0.2.4-0' '0.2.4.1-0'
Install the passed package(s) with brew install
The name of the formula to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored if "pkgs" is passed.
Multiple Package Installation Options:
A list of formulas to install. Must be passed as a python list.
Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:
{'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
'new': '<new-version>'}}
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.install 'package package package'
List the packages currently installed in a dict:
{'<package_name>': '<version>'}
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
Check whether or not an upgrade is available for all packages
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades
Removes packages with brew uninstall
Return a list containing the removed packages:
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.remove <package,package,package>
Check whether or not an upgrade is available for a given package
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.upgrade_available <package name>
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.
CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.version <package name>
salt '*' pkg.version <package1> <package2> <package3>
