When service module is used on unsupported Linux system where init
script is used directly, LinuxService.svc_cmd is None so .endswith()
fails.
This extends fix from e2f20db534 also
for state=restarted.
Fixes issue #3533
The default behavior is to update_cache if changed.
If you add more then one repo, you may not want to update cache for every repo separately.
So you can now disable update_cache with this new option e.g. update_cache=no
Updating cache can also be handled using the apt module.
The EXAMPLES block here has two copies of the same docs,
one nicely formatted, the other less so.
It looks like a pass was made to clean up the docs but the old
cruftier ones were never removed.
Packages which are half-installed are not adequately represented by
the .is_installed field of the apt.package.Package object. By using the
lower-level apt_pkg.Package object (which provides the .current_state
field), we can check for a partially-installed state more accurately.
Fixes#3421
* Added in support for freebsd-style sysctl commands
* Replaced some functionality that was provided by module_common
* Simplified some logic in a couple of places (ie, not checking
a split with len() but instead limiting the split to 1)
Fixes#3380
By default, the service module had assumed that if the system had the
update-rc.d binary, the service was either managed via upstart or standard
sysV init-style scripts. This patch adds a check for systemctl ahead
of the other methods when update-rc.d is detected, and also simplifies
the logic around the detection of systemctl-managed services
Without this, the first call to the easy_install module with a new virtualenv
will only create the virtualenv without installing the intended package, since
the `_is_package_installed` check will succeed as running /usr/bin/easy_install
as non-root user will return permission denied error with empty stdout.
