Add package management support for ALT Linux #64971

Open Mogaba opened 1 year ago

Mogaba commented 1 year ago

Hello, a long time ago Salt was added to ALT Linux: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/3444.

Unfortunately there's still no package management support, the pkg module is missing in ALT Linux. Is it possible to implement it?

@Mogaba the best way to add that kind of support is to have someone who uses the Linux distribution in question contribute the support for it. I'm adding this to the approved milestone, but that does not mean that someone will be assigned to this any time soon.

It appears that ALT Linux uses rpm packages, but the apt package manager.

Being detected as Debian should mostly work, but there's a good chance it will need to be a whole new family.

This requires #3473 (currently closed as not planned). It looks like some of the work was already done.

How much of it works if you set this in the minion config?

providers:
  pkg: aptpkg
  lowpkg: rpm_lowpkg

It doesn't work either. aptpkg and rpm_lowpkg modules do not support Alt Workstation
