I actually did install minions in every jail (17!). For me the choice was easy: either perform a ‘pkg -j <jail-id> upgrade’ 17 times, or “salt ‘*’ pkg.upgrade” once (yeah, I’m lazy :) ). The latter command also updates the linux boxes and the raspberry pi’s.
And this is only one of the advantages. I have several directories getting updates from git, and performing a “highstate” will automatically update those directories.
But of course you pay the price in used memory and CPU cycles.
