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
