Blair Zajac	811c711328	library/apt: consistently use underscores in examples. ... To be consistent with the table showing available options, use underscores in the example tasks, not hyphens, as the table doesn't list hyphenated versions of option names, so it looks like the examples could have typos in them.	12 years ago

Shaun Zinck	e34eaa423d	pkgin: change install/remove to not use return code of pkgin ... pkgin always returns 0 so can't be used to tell if the install or remove worked. Instead this just queries the installed packages after performing an operation.	12 years ago
Silviu Dicu	2a893ab0bb	ec2 facts module - updated as per comments	12 years ago
Stephen Fromm	e0741e7810	Update apt_repository to query if repo is already configured ... This adds two dependencies to the apt_repository module: apt and apt_pkg. These come from the package python-apt. This is used to parse the host's sources.list and examine whether the repo is already configured. This then eliminates the unnecessary 'add-apt-repository --remove' from running.	12 years ago

Rune Kaagaard	27ab2e55d3	Service mod.: Proper(?) handling of return code 69 ... This adds "69" to the return codes from the status command that should be considered as not running. At least "django-celery" uses this return code, maybe others:: /venv/bin/python /code/project/manage.py celeryctl status echo $? # 69 when not running. A bit of googling let me to http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exitcodes.html and on a Ubuntu Server 12.10 I get:: ~# cat /usr/include/sysexits.h | grep 69 #define EX_UNAVAILABLE 69 /* service unavailable */ I'm not sure if the content of sysexits.h is the same on other OS'es.	12 years ago
Jayson Vantuyl	ad6373430b	add apt_key module ... Pretty straightforward. Give it a URL with an exported GPG key for signing an Apt repository. It downloads it and will install it using apt-key. It's even smart enough to tell if it's already there (i.e. actually tells you if it changed or not).	12 years ago

This updates apt, apt_repository, command, cron, easy_install, facter, fireball, git, group, mount, ohai, pip, service, setup, subversion, supervisorctl, svr4pkg, user, and yum to take advantage of run_command in module_common.py.	12 years ago

willthames	4e50478a05	Fix behaviour when file handles a path with tilde ... Two problems here * unchecked exception handling and erroneous assumption as to why an exception might fire * although the file module expands the path, when using file_args the unexpanded path is passed. Expected result: ~/path/to/file should work fine Actual result: exception is because it doesn't find file with a message about not being able to get the selinux context	12 years ago

Dag Wieers	eb36ff45b9	Make script module use raw module so it does not require python	12 years ago
Dag Wieers	846161a1a4	Allow to change executable (shell/interpreter) when using raw ... This patch adds an optional 'executable=' option to the raw command line to override the default shell (/bin/sh), much like the shell module does.	12 years ago
Michael DeHaan	3d3deb9797	Merge pull request #1795 from dagwieers/raw-enhanced ... Add return code and error output to raw module	12 years ago
Dag Wieers	988db558b3	Add return code and error output to raw module ... Since we use 'raw' heavily on equipment where 'command' and 'shell' are not (yet) working (and python may need to be installed first using raw) these improvements are necessary in order to write more complex scripts (with return code handling and separated stdout/stderr). This change includes the following changes: - exec_command() now returns the return code of the command - _low_level_exec_command() now returns a dict, including 'rc', 'stdout' and 'stderr' - all users of the above interfaces have been improved to make use of the above changes - all connection plugins have been modified to return rc and stderr - fix the newline problem (stdout and stderr would have excess newlines) In a future commit I intend to add assertions or error handling code to verify the return code in those places where it wasn't done. Since only the output was available, the return code was ignored, even though we expect them to be 0.	12 years ago

Stephen Fromm	ccca5fcd1c	Ensure files created by authorized_key have correct selinux context ... Three changes: * Add set_default_selinux_context() to module_common that sets a file's context according to the defaults in the policy * In atomic_replace(), set the default context for the file if selinux is enabled and the destination file does not exist. * In authorized_key, set the default context when creating $HOME/.ssh and $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys. If these already exist, this won't touch them.	12 years ago

Norman J. Harman Jr	19b84d0527	pip module improvements ... - Do not silently ignore malformed pip requirements files. - Properly reports changed when removing packages. - "latest" i.e. --upgrade is *not* incompatible with requirements files. - Less branchy, simpler logic. - Removed pointless variable "initializations", Python doesn't need that. Other code simplifications. - Fun fact; pip install is (kind of) case insensitive, pip freeze is not. So, 'sqlalchemy' will be reported as installed by install, but missing by freeze. The perhaps controversial change and the one that led to finding / fixing above issues... Instead of adding command parameters 'index', and 'find', and 'mirrors', and etc. Added 'extra_args' which are passed onto pip. The use case for --index-url is having a private pypi repo, like http://pypi.python.org/pypi/localshop, to which you publish private packages. I'm sure most every pip option has a use case for someone. extra_args handles all those. Can reserve ansible command parameters for the most common. Tested with pip 1.1.	12 years ago

Stephen Fromm	b1ec6e8163	Fix git module to update branch to latest when using version=<branch> ... The git module would not pull in updates to a branch when version=<branch>. This updates that block to checkout the branch and then do a git reset --hard <remote>/<branch>. This should now track updates to a branch.	12 years ago
Piotr Kweclich	9c20eb089b	added support for scheduling downtime for all services on host	12 years ago
Stephen Fromm	5b7c8fcc38	Further tweak how to find pip in virtualenv on centos/redhat/fedora ... In a virtualenv, pip is called just pip. This fixes the pip module to search for the virtualenv pip first before trying the pip-python and python-pip variants. Without this, pip module would not install to the virtualenv when that parameter is provided.	12 years ago
Stephen Fromm	e33e02950d	Make use of mirrors in pip module configurable with use_mirrors option ... Older versions of pip (anything less than 1.0?) do not support --use-mirrors flag. This makes it configurable. Default is yes.	12 years ago

Stephen Fromm	d277953a53	Fix pip module to check if requirements already installed ... This updates _is_package_installed() to accept a requirements file as an argument. This is used later in main() to check if python libs specified in a requirements file are already installed. I updated main() to consolidate the handling of install/uninstall in a single block. This should help if someone wants to remove packages specified by a requirements file.	12 years ago

Patrik Lundin	fde00327b0	Rework "enabled" implementation for FreeBSD. ... When trying to perform enabled=yes followed by enabled=no against FreeBSD the module would die with the following error: TypeError: sub() takes at most 4 arguments (5 given) The target FreeBSD client (8.2) is running python 2.6.6. It seems the extra 'flags' argument was added to re.sub() in 2.7. In fixing this issue I have attempted to create a general atomic method for modifying a rc.conf file. Hopefully this will make it easier to add other rc based platorms. The strip/split magic was inspired by the user module.	12 years ago
