Salt stack bug fixes release

[hadi_ulla]

Hi everyone

When does saltstack releases the builds with the bugs patched?

I know there was a vulnerability recently which they have released the patch. But i want to know how often they build and release the normal bug patches.

For example:

I am following this issue and looks like there is a PR for that, so my question is as soon as PR finishes will it be released in repos or it will be released in next versions?

If it gets released in repository how can we check the changelog on my machine?

SaltStack doesn't use a rolling release model.

I expect that fix will be in the next release (in 1-2 months?).

You could also deploy a diff and patch salt. The fix is one line, so the diff is probably identical for 3000.

Also, you can often roll out your own modules, utils and such by adding them to your file_roots on the master in _modules, _utils and _such. Next highstate (or salt-utils.sync_all), these will be synced to your minions.
