Issue/Introduction

Users are seeing errors about being unable to resolve https://repo.saltproject.io.

SaltProject has made changes to where the repository is located. This means that https://repo.saltproject.io is no longer available for downloading and installing package

Environment

SaltProject - all versions

Aria Config - all versions

Tanzu Salt - all versions

SaltStack - all versions

Resolution

Existing Salt users on Linux can use the sample state below to update their existing SaltProject repo configurations. This has been tested on a RHEL derivative and confirmed to work. Please test in your environment prior to running in your production environment. It may be necessary to update the repository name, or other small settings to match any existing repository.

update_salt_repo_config:
  pkgrepo.managed:
    - name: salt-repo
    - humanname: SaltProject
    - baseurl: 'https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/saltproject-rpm/'
    - gpgcheck: 1
  - gpgkey: 'https://packages.broadcom.com/artifactory/api/security/keypair/SaltProjectKey/public'

Other users may be able to download minion packages directly from https://packages.broadcom.com/ui/repos/tree/General/saltproject-generic
