Hi all, The Salt, or Salt Project <https://saltproject.io>, also known as SaltStack is packaged for OpenIndiana as system/management/salt. It is currently at version 3007.1.
This version was released by upstream in May 2024. The latest upstream version of Salt is 3007.8 released in September 2025. In 2023-2024 I updated Salt few times in our repo, but since I do not use it (and I never used it) I've no idea if it works or not. Also, I do not know if it is used by somebody at all. The project itself does have several problems that make its maintenance hard, for example: - salt's testsuite fails early so it is unclear if the package works at all at OpenIndiana - with almost every new upstream release the project brings several new dependencies that we need to package as well to make the salt installable - some of these dependencies lacks illumos/Solaris support - salt relies on some very old python modules that does not work properly with new Pythons Because of that I think we do have only two options: - somebody steps in to maintain our Salt package, or - we obsolete and remove Salt from OpenIndiana: https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/24480 If you are using Salt at OpenIndiana and/or want to maintain it, please let me know ASAP. Thank you. -- +-------------------------------------------+ | Marcel Telka e-mail: [email protected] | | homepage: http://telka.sk/ | +-------------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
