Is it possible to use groupinstall in a Salt State?
-
As the title asks, is it possible to do a "groupinstall" (Fedora) within a Salt State under the pkg.installed?
A quick Google search got me nowhere.
What I've been doing is doing a
dnf group info virtualization(for example), and then just listing all of those packages under thepkg.installedarea in the Salt State. That's been working fine. But I'd like to be able to use a groupinstall, to keep things simpler, and also incase the packages in a groupinstall change.I've tried adding @virtualization, but that give an error when trying to run a HighState.
I suppose I can do a
cmd.run, but looking for easier or overlooked alternatives that exist already for that purpose. -
Likely, but I've never tried that one.

Aw, I was hoping you've already been there and done that.

No, I rarely do that manually, either. I tend to do each package.

Do you like hurting your fingers? That's a lot of extra typing.

Noting is much typing in the state world.

It looks like it is supported, but I haven't tested it yet:

That's cool.
