I have a salt formula. On server I am using wkhtmltopdf tools. Ubuntu repo has this tool but it has an older version. I want to use the latest version.
I am doing the following to get it installed on minions manually.
$ wget http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.2.1/wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
$ sudo apt-get install fontconfig libfontenc1 libjpeg-turbo8 libxfont1 x11-common xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base xfonts-encodings xfonts-utils libxrender1
$ sudo dpkg -i wkhtmltox-0.12.2.1_linux-trusty-amd64.deb
I can do cmd.run for all these commands. Is there any better way of doing any of these steps?
You can specify a remote sources option in a Salt pkg state. You could try something like this
cat stuff.sls

- pkg.installed:

- libjpeg-turbo8
