Previously, packages were installed one at a time in a loop. This caused
a couple of problems.
First, it was a performance issue - pacman would have to perform all of
its checks once per package. This is unnecessarily costly, especially
when you're trying to install several related packages at the same time.
Second, if a package you're trying to install depends on a virtual
package that is provided by several different packages (such as the
"libgl" package on Arch) and you aren't also installing something that
provides that virtual package at the same time, pacman will produce an
interactive prompt to allow the user to select a relevant package. This
is obviously incompatible with how ansible operates. Yes, this problem
could be avoided by installing packages in a different order, but the
order of installation shouldn't matter, and there may be situations
where it is not possible to control the order of installation.
With this refactoring, all of the above problems are avoided. The code
will now work out all of the packages that need to be installed from any
configured repositories and any packages that need to be installed from
local files, and then install all the repository packages in one go and
then all of the local file packages in one go.
* Update system/user.py module.
Add ability to add real system users with next free system uid (< 500) on macOS.
* Improve syntax in system/user.py module.
Remove complex if else line and replace by simple comparison which yields the same boolean value.
* Remove "True" comparison of user.py.
Remove comparison to true, as it is not pep8 conform.
* Add new parameters to taskdefinition module - network_mode and task_role_arn
* Add version_added field for doco
* Change version_added parameter to 2.3
It's possible to compress packages using several different compression
methods, or not compressed at all. Previously, the pacman module only
supported files compressed using xz. This update ensures that all
compression types currently supported by pacman are supported by the
ansible pacman module.
The list of supported compression methods at the time of writing can be
found here:
https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/scripts/makepkg.sh.in#n747
Sudoers is a great example to show how you can prevent shutting yourself
out. But SSHd is at least as important to avoid syntax errors causing a
lot of grieve. So I think it deserves a spot in this list :-)
Currently this function directs to the standard NetworkModule,
whose run_commands function takes no arguments (other than self).
This directs the call to the connection's cli method to run the command
directly on the device.
* Fix bug #5328 apache module loading
Currently, the apache2_module module parses apache configs
for correctness when enabling or disabling apache2 modules.
This behavior introduced a conflict condition when transitioning
between mpm modules, such as mpm_worker and mpm_event.
This change accounts for the specific error condition raised
by ``apachectl -M``:
``AH00534: apache2: Configuration error: No MPM loaded.``
When loading or unloading a module with a name that contains 'mpm_',
apache2_module will ignore the error raised by apachectl if stderr
contains 'AH00534'.
Fixes#5328
* Add AH00534 warning
* Added changes from PR #5629
* Modified ignore_configcheck behavior
* Code smell test for iteritems and itervalues
* Change the keydict object in authorized_keys so it doesn't throw a false postive
keydict is a bad data structure anyway. We don't use the iteritems and
itervalues methods so just disable them so that the code-smell tests do
not trigger on it.
* Change release templates so they work with py3
For the comparisions that need to be done, this map call needs
to convert to a list because the six import in ansible changes
the behavior of map to return an iterator instead of a list
* Fix UnboundLocalError remote_head in git
Fixes#5505
The use of remote_head was a leftover of #4562.
remote_head is not necessary, since the repo is unchanged anyway and
after is set correctly.
Further changes:
* Set changed=True and msg once local_mods are detected and reset.
* Remove need_fetch that is always True (due to previous if) to improve
clarity
* Don't exit early for local_mods but run submodules update and
switch_version
* Add test for git with local modifications
