salt-api not installed on Oracle Linux

[Gillingham]

Is there a reason salt-api is not installed on Oracle Linux, I don't see an option to force its install

[jfindlay]

Since oracle is a fork of redhat, I'm assuming it would use the redhat packages. Can you verify that any salt packages have been installed? If bootstrap can't find packages for the platform it will fallback to installing from git in which case you should have all of salt-api installed even if there is not a package installed called salt-api.

On a host that called bootstrap with -M -P -X

[root@msp-salt ~]# rpm -qa | grep salt
salt-minion-2015.5.0-1.el7.noarch
salt-2015.5.0-1.el7.noarch
salt-master-2015.5.0-1.el7.noarch
[root@msp-salt ~]# rpm -ql salt | grep salt-api
[root@msp-salt ~]# rpm -ql salt-master | grep salt-api
[root@msp-salt ~]# cat /etc/oracle-release
Oracle Linux Server release 7.1
[root@msp-salt ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)

Same Issue on Amazon Linux.

Try to use latest develop version of the bootstrap script and git installation mode.
This issue has partially covered by PR #931.

This is happening because there isn't a specific flag to install salt-api packages. The Oracle Linux install functions call out to the install_centos_stable function, which looks like this:

install_centos_stable() {
    __PACKAGES=""

    if [ "$_INSTALL_CLOUD" -eq $BS_TRUE ];then
        __PACKAGES="${__PACKAGES} salt-cloud"
    fi
    if [ "$_INSTALL_MASTER" -eq $BS_TRUE ];then
        __PACKAGES="${__PACKAGES} salt-master"
    fi
    if [ "$_INSTALL_MINION" -eq $BS_TRUE ]; then
        __PACKAGES="${__PACKAGES} salt-minion"
    fi
    if [ "$_INSTALL_SYNDIC" -eq $BS_TRUE ];then
        __PACKAGES="${__PACKAGES} salt-syndic"
    fi

    # shellcheck disable=SC2086
    __yum_install_noinput ${__PACKAGES} || return 1

    return 0
}

There isn't a flag currently in the bootstrap script that handles installing the salt-api package. This needs to be added for all distros that split out the salt-api package, which I believe is most (if not all) of the distros packaged and hosted on repo.saltstack.com. However, you can use the git installation method to include the salt-api files as explained above.
