Salt 2015.8.7 Release Notes

Version 2015.8.7 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0 <release-2015-8-0>.

Note

Salt 2015.8.4, 2015.8.5, and 2015.8.7 were all released within a short period due to regressions found soon after the releases of 2015.8.4 and 2015.8.5. See here <release-2015-8-4> for the 2015.8.4 release notes, and here <release-2015-8-5> for the 2015.8.5 release notes.

Change to Epoch Support for YUM/DNF

For pkg.installed <salt.states.pkg.installed> states, on Linux distributions which use yum/dnf, packages which have a non-zero epoch in the version number now require this epoch to be included when specifying an exact version for a package. For example:

vim-enhanced:
  pkg.installed:
    - version: 2:7.4.160-1.el7

The pkg.latest_version <salt.modules.yumpkg.latest_version> and pkg.list_repo_pkgs <salt.modules.yumpkg.list_repo_pkgs> functions can be used to get the correct version string to use, as they will now contain the epoch when it is non-zero.
