First of all, surely rsync configs should be salted, not packaged ? Yes, I know pontifex has yet to be saltified.
Second, fiddling with the rsync config doesn't contribute much to the resurrection of the hotstuff modules? To resurrect the hotstuff modules, you need to generate the content.

The hotstuff content is kept in /srv/rsync-modules/{30g,80g,160g,320g,640g} - my understanding is that we used to produce stats of the most popular packages (probably based on apache logs?) and then use some knapsack algorithm to produce a suitable selection for each hotstuff module.

Do we have any existing "salt book" where I could contribute with these? I'll be happy to add them
There was a task to go through hostuff modules manually in release process so not sure about the statistics.

We can handle "updating of these rsync separately"

Thank you for pointers, that already helps!

I see https://github.com/SUSE/salt-formulas mentions both SUSE and openSUSE but I don't like the fact that it's not in the openSUSE namespace. Do we have better location?

TBH, I'm no expert myself, but the openSUSE salt configs are kept here:
https://gitlab.infra.opensuse.org/infra/salt

The formulas we use are in gitlab.opensuse.org/saltstack-formulas, but in this case I have a feeling that a formula would be over-engeneered. Using file.managed should do the job with less overhead.

To get started with the salt repo, have a look at https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/opensuse-admin-wiki/wiki/#Salt - or just ask ;-)

Thank you I'll have a look. I didn't mean to create entire formulas repo just for this one thing :) I was more likely asking if there is any existing repo with salt formulas for heroes.
