# salt.modules.zypperpkg

Package support for openSUSE via the zypper package manager

depends:

  - `rpm` Python module. Install with `zypper install rpm-python`

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.

class salt.modules.zypperpkg.Wildcard(zypper)

  New in version 2017.7.0.

  Converts string wildcard to a zypper query. .. rubric:: Example

  '1.2.3.4*' is '1.2.3.4.whatever.is.here' and is equal to: '1.2.3.4 >= and < 1.2.3.5'

  Parameters:

    ptn -- Pattern

  Returns:

    Query range

  Z_OP = ['<', '<=', '=', '>=', '>']

salt.modules.zypperpkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)

  This function is an alias of `latest_version`.

  > refresh

  >   force a refresh if set to True (default). If set to False it depends on zypper if a refresh is executed or not.

  > root

  Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions running systemd>=205, systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from the `salt-minion` daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd from killing any zypper commands spawned by Salt when the `salt-minion` service is restarted. (see `KillMode` in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of systemd-run(1) can be suppressed by setting a `config option` called `systemd.scope`, with a value of `False` (no quotes).

  Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to force a 'zypper refresh' before package is installed.

  name

    The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored if either `pkgs` or `sources` is passed. Additionally, please note that this option can only be used to install packages from a software repository. To install a package file manually, use the `sources` option.

    CLI Example:

        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

  refresh

    force a refresh if set to True. If set to False (default) it depends on zypper if a refresh is executed.

  fromrepo

    Specify a package repository to install from.

  downloadonly

    Only download the packages, do not install.

  skip_verify

    Skip the GPG verification check (e.g., `--no-gpg-checks`)

  version

    Can be either a version number, or the combination of a comparison operator (<, >, <=, >=, =) and a version number (ex. '>1.2.3-4'). This parameter is ignored if `pkgs` or `sources` is passed.

  resolve_capabilities

    If this option is set to True zypper will take capabilities into account. In this case names which are just provided by a package will get installed. Default is False.

  Multiple Package Installation Options:

  pkgs

    A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as a python list. A specific version number can be specified by using a single-element dict representing the package and its version. As with the `version` parameter above, comparison operators can be used to target a specific version of a package.

    CLI Examples:

        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4"}]'
        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "<1.2.3-4"}]'

  sources

    A list of RPM packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local path to the package.

    CLI Example:

        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"},{"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

  ignore_repo_failure

    Zypper returns error code 106 if one of the repositories are not available for various reasons. In case to set strict check, this parameter needs to be set to True. Default: False.

  no_recommends

    Do not install recommended packages, only required ones.

  root

    operate on a different root directory.

  diff_attr:

    If a list of package attributes is specified, returned value will contain them, eg.:

                'arch': '<old-arch>'},

            'new': {
                'version': '<new-version>',
                'arch': '<new-arch>'}}}

    Valid attributes are: `epoch`, `version`, `release`, `arch`, `install_date`, `install_date_time_t`.

    If `all` is specified, all valid attributes will be returned.

    New in version 2018.3.0.

  Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

      {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                     'new': '<new-version>'}}

  If an attribute list is specified in `diff_attr`, the dict will also contain any specified attribute, eg.:

      {'<package>': {
          'old': {

              'arch': '<new-arch>'}}}

salt.modules.zypperpkg.list_repo_pkgs(*args, **kwargs)

  New in version 2017.7.5,2018.3.1.

  Returns all available packages. Optionally, package names (and name globs) can be passed and the results will be filtered to packages matching those names. This is recommended as it speeds up the function considerably.

  This function can be helpful in discovering the version or repo to specify in a `pkg.installed` state.

  The return data will be a dictionary mapping package names to a list of version numbers, ordered from newest to oldest. If `byrepo` is set to `True`, then the return dictionary will contain repository names at the top level, and each repository will map packages to lists of version numbers. For example:

      # With byrepo=False (default)
      {

          }
      }

  root

    operate on a different root directory.

  CLI Examples:

      salt '*' pkg.search <criteria>

salt.modules.zypperpkg.services_need_restart(root=None, **kwargs)

  New in version 3003.

  List services that use files which have been changed by the package manager. It might be needed to restart them.

  root

    operate on a different root directory.

  CLI Examples:

      salt '*' pkg.services_need_restart

salt.modules.zypperpkg.unhold(name=None, pkgs=None, root=None, **kwargs)

  New in version 3003.

  Remove a package hold.

  name

    A package name to unhold, or a comma-separated list of package names to unhold.

  pkgs

    A list of packages to unhold. The `name` parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

  root

    operate on a different root directory.

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' pkg.unhold <package name>
      salt '*' pkg.unhold <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
      salt '*' pkg.unhold pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

salt.modules.zypperpkg.upgrade(refresh=True, dryrun=False, dist_upgrade=False, fromrepo=None, novendorchange=False, skip_verify=False, no_recommends=False, root=None, **kwargs)

  Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions running systemd>=205, systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from the `salt-minion` daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd from killing any zypper commands spawned by Salt when the `salt-minion` service is restarted. (see `KillMode` in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of systemd-run(1) can be suppressed by setting a `config option` called `systemd.scope`, with a value of `False` (no quotes).

  Run a full system upgrade, a zypper upgrade

  refresh

    force a refresh if set to True (default). If set to False it depends on zypper if a refresh is executed.

  dryrun

  root

      {'<package>':  {'old': '<old-version>',
                      'new': '<new-version>'}}

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' pkg.upgrade

      salt '*' pkg.upgrade dist_upgrade=True dryrun=True

salt.modules.zypperpkg.upgrade_available(name, **kwargs)

  Check whether or not an upgrade is available for a given package

  refresh

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' pkg.upgrade_available <package name>

salt.modules.zypperpkg.verify(*names, **kwargs)

  Files with an attribute of config, doc, ghost, license or readme in the package header can be ignored using the `ignore_types` keyword argument.

  The root parameter can also be passed via the keyword argument.

      salt '*' pkg.verify
      salt '*' pkg.verify httpd

      salt '*' pkg.verify 'httpd postfix' ignore_types=['config','doc']
