One can install alternate packages managers on debuntu machines.
However, doing so doesn't mean you want to suddenly start using them.
Add in a check similar to the fedora yum/dnf check that sets apt as the
pkg_mgr if the ansible_os_family is Debian.
* Add backup option
* Only backup shadow file when the OS has one
* Only backup shadow file for SunOS
* Update docs on backup feature
* Add changelog fragment
* Add tests for shadow backup
* Remove backup option, make it automatic
Remove the option to enable/disable backups and make it automatic. Add note to docs describing this behavior.
Change tests to account for new module behavior.
Change section name in changelog fragment since minor_features is not a valid section.
* strip additional comments from /etc/default/passwd
Strip trailling comments from /etc/default/passwd like
MINWEEKS=1 #MINWEEKS=2
MAXWEEKS=12 # MAXWEEKS=8
Which otherwise cause failures with "failed to read /etc/default/passwd: too many values to unpack"

* Only template values in vars_prompt rather than all vars
This allows the use of variables in vars_prompt fields but allows variables entered in the prompt to affect play vars rather than throwing an undefined error.
Only post validate if there was a vars_prompt

Check the password format and notify user if they
input unencrypted password.

The bundled selectors library which is used by the local and ssh
connection plugins had a bug which caused a traceback in a cornercase.
If selectors were in use and a syscall was interrupted, selectors would
attempt to restart the syscall after the interrupt was processed. if
the attempt determined that the timeout for running the syscall had
already expired, the code attempted to raise OSError. The raise was
using a Python3-ism and needed to be ported to work on Python2.

they dropped the Linux so now it only shows as ALT, it should still be backwards compatible
pkg_mgr detection relies on `Altlinux` string, so properly setting os_distribution should take care of it as side effect

config files can no longer be loaded from a world writable current
working directory but the end user is allowed to specify that
explicitly. Give appropriate warnings and information on how.

On Python3, these would be text strings already. On Python2, we need to
convert them from bytes.
Use a new helper function py3compat to do this.

Some distribtuions like SUSE has the rc%.d directories under /etc/init.d
Quote of /etc/rc.d.README on SLES11.
"Some people expect the system startup scripts in /etc/rc.d/.
We use a slightly different structure for better LSB compliance."

* changes to detect failure when setting a privileged not allowed
Now that we don't need to worry about python-2.4 and 2.5, we can make
some improvements to the way AnsiballZ handles modules.
* Change AnsiballZ wrapper to use import to invoke the module
We need the module to think of itself as a script because it could be
coded as:
main()
or as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Or even as:
if __name__ == '__main__':
random_function_name()
A script will invoke all of those. Prior to this change, we invoked
a second Python interpreter on the module so that it really was
a script. However, this means that we have to run python twice (once
for the AnsiballZ wrapper and once for the module). This change makes
the module think that it is a script (because __name__ in the module ==
'__main__') but it's actually being invoked by us importing the module
code.
There's three ways we've come up to do this.
* The most elegant is to use zipimporter and tell the import mechanism
that the module being loaded is __main__:
* 5959f11c9d/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py (L175)
* zipimporter is nice because we do not have to extract the module from
the zip file and save it to the disk when we do that. The import
machinery does it all for us.
* The drawback is that modules do not have a __file__ which points
to a real file when they do this. Modules could be using __file__
to for a variety of reasons, most of those probably have
replacements (the most common one is to find a writable directory
for temporary files. AnsibleModule.tmpdir should be used instead)
We can monkeypatch __file__ in fom AnsibleModule initialization
but that's kind of gross. There's no way I can see to do this
from the wrapper.
* Next, there's imp.load_module():
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/340edf7489/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L151
* imp has the nice property of allowing us to set __name__ to
__main__ without changing the name of the file itself
* We also don't have to do anything special to set __file__ for
backwards compatibility (although the reason for that is the
drawback):
* Its drawback is that it requires the file to exist on disk so we
have to explicitly extract it from the zipfile and save it to
a temporary file
* The last choice is to use exec to execute the module:
* https://github.com/abadger/ansible/blob/f47a4ccc76/lib/ansible/executor/module_common.py#L175
* The code we would have to maintain for this looks pretty clean.
In the wrapper we create a ModuleType, set __file__ on it, read
the module's contents in from the zip file and then exec it.
* Drawbacks: We still have to explicitly extract the file's contents
from the zip archive instead of letting python's import mechanism
handle it.
* Exec also has hidden performance issues and breaks certain
assumptions that modules could be making about their own code:
http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2011/2/1/exec-in-python/
Our plan is to use imp.load_module() for now, deprecate the use of
__file__ in modules, and switch to zipimport once the deprecation
period for __file__ is over (without monkeypatching a fake __file__ in
via AnsibleModule).
* Rename the name of the AnsiBallZ wrapped module
This makes it obvious that the wrapped module isn't the module file that
we distribute. It's part of trying to mitigate the fact that the module
is now named __main)).py in tracebacks.
* Shield all wrapper symbols inside of a function
With the new import code, all symbols in the wrapper become visible in
the module. To mitigate the chance of collisions, move most symbols
into a toplevel function. The only symbols left in the global namespace
are now _ANSIBALLZ_WRAPPER and _ansiballz_main.

One of the earlier implementation of unified temp for 2.4 passed the
temp diretory to the remote side using this environment variable. We
later changed it to be passed via a module parameter but forgot to
remove the environment variable.
* Support multi-doc yaml in the from_yaml filter
* Most automatic method of handling multidoc
* Only use safe_load_all
* Implement separate filter
* Update plugin docs and changelog
Allow specifying the source and destination files' encodings in the template module
* Added output_encoding to the template module, default to utf-8
* Added documentation for the new variables
* Leveraged the encoding argument on to_text() and to_bytes() to keep the implementation as simple as possible
* Added integration tests with files in utf-8 and windows-1252 encodings, testing all combinations
* fix bad smell test by excluding windows-1252 files from the utf8 checks
* fix bad smell test by excluding valid files from the smart quote test
* win_user: use different method to validate credentials that does not rely on SMB/RPC
* Use Add-Type as SetLastError on .net reflection not working on 2012 R2
* win_chocolatey: refactor module to fix bugs and add new features
* Fix some typos and only emit install warning not in check mode
* Fixes when testing out installing chocolatey from a server
* Added changelog fragment
* Enable check_mode in command module
This only works if supplying creates or removes since it needs
something to base the heuristic off. If none are supplied it will just
skip as usual.
Fixes#15828
* Add documentation for new check_mode behavior
* Update nclu.py
Stop module from running `net` on empty commands.
* Update nclu.py
Updated the copyright date
* Update nclu.py
Returned metadata version to 1.1
* Update nclu.py
Fix indentation to be a multiple of 4.
* Create changelog fragment
* Only report change when home directory is different
Add tests with home: parameter
Have to skip macOS for now since there is a bug when specifying the home directory path for an existing user that results in a module failure. That needs to be fixed in a separate PR.
* fix a (forgotten?) change in moving createhome -> create_home
Fix for following bug on FreeBSD host whith user module:
```
