This gist shows a method for using Saltstack to automate the build and install of libsodium, libzmq, czmq and pyzmq. This state can be used to keep the ZMQ stack up to date.

# Author: Chris Laws
#
# This saltstack state automates the build and install of the
# current version of the Github master branch for libsodium,
# libzmq, czmq and pyzmq (for both python2 and python3).
#
# This state is part of a suite of states I use to recreate my
# development machine and keep it up to date. It contains some
# configuration instructions that slightly beyond the common
# content in many saltstack examples and may be useful to someone
# else.
#
#
# This state depends on the normal build tools required to
# build and install the ZMQ stack such as build-essential,
# libtool, automake, autoconf, python2, python3, etc. These
# dependencies are not included in this state but could be
# constructed similar to this:
#
# build-tools-pkgs:
#  pkg.installed:
#    - names:
#      - build-essential
#      - libtool
#      - automake
#      - autoconf
#
# This state depends on the user 'saltuser' being present
# on the system and declared in the pillar's users state file.
# You can strip this dependency out - its just how my state
# setup is structured.
#
