- ====================
- Salt Package Manager
- ====================
- The Salt Package Manager, or :ref:`SPM <spm-cli>`, enables Salt formulas to be packaged to simplify
- distribution to Salt masters. The design of SPM was influenced by other existing packaging
- systems including RPM, Yum, and Pacman.

- .. note::
- The previous diagram shows each SPM component as a different system, but this
- is not required. You can build packages and host the SPM repo on
- a single Salt master if you'd like.
- **Packaging System**
- The packaging system is used to package the state, pillar, file templates, and other
- files used by your formula into a single file. After a formula package is
- created, it is copied to the Repository System where it is made available to
- Salt masters.
- See :ref:`Building SPM Packages <spm-packaging>`
- **Repo System**
- The Repo system stores the SPM package and metadata files and makes them
- available to Salt masters via http(s), ftp, or file URLs. SPM repositories can be
- hosted on a Salt Master, a Salt Minion, or on another system.
- See :ref:`Distributing SPM Packages <spm-repo>`
- **Salt Master**
- SPM provides Salt master settings that let you configure the URL of one or more
- SPM repos. You can then quickly install packages that contain entire formulas
- to your Salt masters using SPM.
