## Workaround for OpenSSL issues on macOS

If `slskit` is failing with an error like this: `OSError: Cannot locate OpenSSL libcrypto`, try setting the following environment variable:

```sh
export HOMEBREW_PREFIX=/usr/local
```

Below is an old hackaround:

If `slskit` fails with `zsh: abort` or `Abort trap: 6`, inspect the error by running the command with `PYTHONDEVMODE=1`. If the issue is with `_load_libcrypto` call in `rsax931.py`, edit `salt/utils/rsax931.py` line 38:

```diff
-lib = find_library('crypto')
+lib = "/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/libcrypto.dylib"
```

## Workaround for exception raised when processing __virtual__ function

When seeing errors like these:

```
ERROR:salt.loader:Exception raised when processing __virtual__ function for salt.loaded.int.module.freebsdkmod. Module will not be loaded: 'kernel'
WARNING:salt.loader:salt.loaded.int.module.freebsdkmod.__virtual__() is wrongly returning `None`. It should either return `True`, `False` or a new name. If you're the developer of the module 'freebsdkmod', please fix this.
```

You may need to add a corresponding grain to `slskit.yaml` file, e.g.:

```yaml
# slskit.yaml

slskit:
roster:
foo:
grains:
kernel: Linux
```

You can find values for grains by inspecting `grains.items` on your real minions.

## How to keep your grains DRY

Use `default_grains` option to avoid duplicating the same grains over all minions:

```yaml
# slskit.yaml

slskit:
roster:
foo:
bar:
baz:
default_grains:
os: Ubuntu
```

For more advanced cases use YAML anchors:

```yaml
# slskit.yaml

_grains:
ubuntu: &ubuntu
os: Ubuntu
fedora: &fedora
os: Fedora

slskit:
roster:
u1:
grains:
<<: *ubuntu
u2:
grains:
<<: *ubuntu
f1:
grains:
<<: *fedora
f2:
grains:
<<: *fedora
```

## How to reduce output verbosity

Use Salt's [`output` configuration option](https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/configuration/master.html#output), e.g.:

```yaml
# slskit.yaml

salt:
output: yaml

slskit:
...
```
