* Build documentation for Ansible-2.10 (formerly known as ACD).
Builds plugin docs from collections whose source is on galaxy
The new command downloads collections from galaxy, then finds the
plugins inside of them to get the documentation for those plugins.
* Update the python syntax checks
* docs builds can now require python 3.6+.
* Move plugin formatter code out to an external tool, antsibull-docs.
Collection owners want to be able to extract docs for their own
websites as well.
* The jinja2 filters, tests, and other support code have moved to antsibull
* Remove document_plugins as that has now been integrated into antsibull-docs
* Cleanup and bugfix to other build script code:
* The Commands class needed to have its metaclass set for abstractmethod
to work correctly
* Fix lint issues in some command plugins
* Add the docs/docsite/rst/collections to .gitignore as
everything in that directory will be generated so we don't want any of
it saved in the git repository
* gitignore the build dir and remove edit docs link on module pages
* Add docs/rst/collections as a directory to remove on make clean
* Split the collections docs from the main docs
* remove version and edit on github
* remove version banner for just collections
* clarify examples need collection keyword defined
* Remove references to plugin documentation locations that no longer exist.
* Perhaps the pages in plugins/*.rst should be deprecated
altogether and their content moved?
* If not, perhaps we want to rephrase and link into the collection
documentation?
* Or perhaps we want to link to the plugins which are present in
collections/ansible/builtin?
* Remove PYTHONPATH from the build-ansible calls
One of the design goals of the build-ansible.py script was for it to
automatically set its library path to include the checkout of ansible
and the library of code to implement itself. Because it automatically
includes the checkout of ansible, we don't need to set PYTHONPATH in
the Makefile any longer.
* Create a command to only build ansible-base plugin docs
* When building docs for devel, only build the ansible-base docs for
now. This is because antsibull needs support for building a "devel
tree" of docs. This can be changed once that is implemented
* When building docs for the sanity tests, only build the ansible-base
plugin docs for now. Those are the docs which are in this repo so
that seems appropriate for now.
* Docs: User guide overhaul, part 5 (#70307)
(cherry picked from commit db354c0300)
* Need to return any error code from running antsibull-docs (#70763)
This way we fail early if there's a problem

* Allow tasks to notify a fqcn handler name
* Add tests. Fixes#68181
* Add changelog fragment
* Add test to ensure handlers are deduped properly with fqcn, role, and just handler names
* Add some docs about new special vars
When an ansible module, e.g., command, does not support check mode, you can use "check_mode: no" in that task to execute the task in normal mode, even when "--check" flag is used. The current document basically says, use "check_mode: no" to run in check mode, which is confusing and inaccurate.
Ansible galaxy role download checked for `.tar.gz`, but `tarfile.is_tarfile(...)` can identify and open any valid tarfile. This change uses transparent stream compression to make `.tar.gz` and `.tar.bz2` formats valid with python 2.6.x/2.7.x (as well as `.tar.xz` with python 3.x).
-Add: Test cases for ansible_parent_role_names and ansible_parent_role_paths
-Add: ansible_parent_role_names/paths variables for when a role is being included by another role.
* Python interpreter discovery
* No longer blindly default to only `/usr/bin/python`
* `ansible_python_interpreter` defaults to `auto_legacy`, which will discover the platform Python interpreter on some platforms (but still favor `/usr/bin/python` if present for backward compatibility). Use `auto` to always use the discovered interpreter, append `_silent` to either value to suppress warnings.
* includes new doc utility method `get_versioned_doclink` to generate a major.minor versioned doclink against docs.ansible.com (or some other config-overridden URL)
* docs revisions for python interpreter discovery
(cherry picked from commit 5b53c0012ab7212304c28fdd24cb33fd8ff755c2)
* verify output on some distros, cleanup
`ansible-galaxy init` creates a directory named `role_name` (in the given example) instead of adding the structure in the current working directory.
Additionally adding a clarification for repository creation as the proper repository root is not described yet.
+label: docsite_pr
* Updated the ansible-galaxy docs
<!--- Your description here -->
Updated the documentation that reflects the default branch that will be used for the `version` option in ansible-galaxy.
+label: docsite_pr
* Updated the documentation
As per the code (6d4307377f/lib/ansible/galaxy/role.py (L237))[ansible/galaxy/role.py] Defaults to the branch set as a default in the repository otherwise defaults to the master.
* Update docs/docsite/rst/reference_appendices/galaxy.rst
