salt.modules.pkg_resource

Resources needed by pkg providers

salt.modules.pkg_resource.add_pkg(pkgs, name, version)

Add a package to a dict of installed packages.

salt.modules.pkg_resource.check_targets(targets=None)

Examines target package names to make sure they were formatted properly. Returns a list of problems encountered.

salt.modules.pkg_resource.compare(pkg1='', pkg2='')

Compares two version strings using distutils.version.LooseVersion. This is a fallback for providers which don't have a version comparison utility built into them. Return -1 if version1 < version2, 0 if version1 == version2, and 1 if version1 > version2. Return None if there was a problem making the comparison.

salt.modules.pkg_resource.find_changes(old=None, new=None)

Compare before and after results from pkg.list_pkgs() to determine what changes were made to the packages installed on the minion.

salt.modules.pkg_resource.pack_pkgs(pkgs)

Accepts list (or a string representing a list) and returns back either the list passed, or the list represenation of the string passed.

Example: '["foo","bar","baz"]' would become ["foo","bar","baz"]

salt.modules.pkg_resource.pack_sources(sources)

Accepts list of dicts (or a string representing a list of dicts) and packs the key/value pairs into a single dict.

Example: '[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]' would become {"foo": "salt://foo.rpm", "bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}

salt.modules.pkg_resource.parse_targets(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None)

Parses the input to pkg.install and returns back the package(s) to be installed. Returns a list of packages, as well as a string noting whether the packages are to come from a repository or a binary package.

salt.modules.pkg_resource.sort_pkglist(pkgs)

Accepts a dict obtained from pkg.list_pkgs() and sorts in place the list of versions for any packages that have multiple versions installed, so that two package lists can be compared to one another.
