salt.modules.aixpkg¶
Package support for AIX
Important
If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage filesets or rpm packages on a minion, and it is using a different module (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not available), see here.
-

latest_version.Return the latest version of the named fileset/rpm package available for upgrade or installation. If more than one fileset/rpm package name is specified, a dict of name/version pairs is returned.

CLI Example:
salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name> salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
NOTE: Repositories are not presently supported for AIX. This function will always return an empty string for a given fileset/rpm package.
