Quite-- I'm on board with this in a big way. Salt says that my (personal)
systems must all have:
system-pkgs:
pkg:
- installed
- names:
- sysstat
- strace
- sudo
- subversion
#Sane, but only with a VPN thrown into the mix.
- mosh
# Screen? Tmux? Why not both!
- screen
- tmux
- wget
- rsync
- telnet
- mr
- zsh
- w3m
- elinks
- colordiff
- file
- mercurial
- tcpdump
- nagios-plugins
{% if grains['os'] == 'Ubuntu' %}
- vim
- bind9utils
- git-core
{% endif %}
{% if grains['os'] == 'CentOS' %}
- yum-plugin-priorities
- bind-utils
- vim-enhanced
- git
{% endif %}
