Software

This is probably not the recommended way but it works.

Do everything below in a OpenBSD 6.6 setup. If you run some other version you can do this using OpenBSD VMM

cd /tmp
ftp https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/$(uname -r)/{ports.tar.gz,SHA256.sig}
signify -Cp /etc/signify/openbsd-$(uname -r | cut -c 1,3)-base.pub -x SHA256.sig ports.tar.gz

cd /usr
tar xzf /tmp/ports.tar.gz
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/
cp -r salt salt2019.2.7
cd salt2019.2.7

Edit distinfo

SHA256 (salt-2019.2.7.tar.gz) = d648bcfb7f6c3f2e13b5dfd67dec1043fc25cc72ebebec94b00b1dc5b2e1b873
SIZE (salt-2019.2.7.tar.gz) = 14576515

Now we bake the package

make plist
make package

If errors

rm /usr/ports/plist/amd64/salt*

in /usr/ports/sysutils/salt2019.2.7/ run:
make clean=dist
make clean

try again
