There can be also dependencies between formulas, eg. freeipa formula may depend on formula openssh, horizon formula may depend on apache formula, etc. It's still necessary to configure Salt and provide pillar but these things can be possibly also automated in some debian way. Another advantage I see is having formula packages in (old)stable Debian release which should always work for that particular release without need to search Github for version tested against it. Eg. formulas in stretch should always work for stretch together with other packages in distribution (eg. openstack mitaka). This needs some more work on automated testing but it's in progress :-) > > > Anyway I also wanted to package non-openstack formulas that are done in > > the same way [2] (it's currently about 60 formulas). > > [2] https://github.com/tcpcloud?query=salt-formula- > > Hum, there are many modules there that seem to use the same namespace > as other modules hosted here: > https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/ > > Yet they seem to be different implementations... > > Cheers, > -- > Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer > > Support Debian LTS: http://www.freexian.com/services/debian-lts.html > Learn to master Debian: http://debian-handbook.info/get/
