Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

Context:

ticket:54261 was fixed by ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/504, removing dependency/symlink to /etc/salt from /opt/local/etc/salt directory.

Saltstack provided example config files are no longer provided by the MacPorts sysutils/salt port (or subports). The example configs document default settings and conventions which are appropriate for Linux installation, but inappropriate for MacPorts. A primary use case for the sysutils/salt port is learning Saltstack, which should be facilitated by any provided example configs.

Proposed:

  • Provide reasonable opinionated default configuration files to facilitate a quick start for new users.
  • Provide MacPorts conventions in comments provided with config files.
  • Simplify provided configuration files by omitting package defaults from configuration files, demonstrating "convention over configuration" design principle.
  • Collect input from MacPorts community, design and submit a PR to satisfy the needs from consensus.
