Support for Ubuntu OS

[jaiswalsanjeev]

Is it possible to have Ubuntu OS support instead of just SuseLinux?

Or change the formulas to support any operating system, instead of depending on Suse specific commands like zipper.

Short answer: Yes :)

In the current master at 0.7, there's a few calls to zypper directly (one runner and a couple state files) and a call to hwinfo in a Salt module. These need to be made generic.

Any preference on the Ubuntu version?

Yes. I really require Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS support. How much of an effort will this be?

For an ambiguous answer, not terribly difficult. I am not using Ubuntu personally, so setting up the development environment and finding the equivalent incantations for zypper update (probably apt-get) and hwinfo would be the primary obstacles.

Considering the vacation days in December as well as I do not know the number of those interested in helping, I do not think it will happen before Christmas but would be there in January for at least one version.

I would love if it were OS agnostic as possible. I was trying to do this as well by replacing redhat/suse stuff with pillar data but i'm having a hard as i don't know how any of it really works (python, salt, ceph, anything). Right now it needs to install hwinfo on ubuntu, and replace rpm commands with dpkg commands but it still fails for me. Still trying to figure it out. Huge +1 for this.

lshw support is being added here #73.

Also, #112 is one step closer to making things agnostic.
