The salt-api project has been merged into the main Salt repository as
of Salt's 2014.7 release.
We recommend installing salt-api using a package manager as usual. Some
distributions (RHEL/Cent) have split packages and so the package name will be
salt-api and require a separate install. Some distributions do not split
packages and it will be bundled within the salt-master package.
Verify which version you have installed by running salt-api --version; if
the version number does not start with 2014 you are running an old release.
No further development will take place in this repository. It will be left in the current state for historical purposes. Open issues will be migrated to the Salt repository.
The documentation now lives within the main Salt documentation.
