* Rename README.rst to README.md
* Change README format from reStructuredText to Markdown
* Fix whitespace in README.md
* Update setup.cfg to use README.md
* Replace changelog placeholder with README.md
* Update package-data sanity test
* Convert README from Markdown to ReStructured Text and use as longdesc
Discussion in #13758 led to deciding to switch README to rst and having
setup.py consume it as the long_description.
* Fix long string in setup.py for pep8 compliance
* Open README.rst as read-only
* Update usages of root README.md to README.rst
Unsure about the file ./packaging/debian/docs as it (only) contains the
text README.md. I believe it's referencing ./packaging/debian/README.md
but maybe someone who knows debian packaging could review it?
* Pick up fixes that had been merged into README.md after the initial conversion to rst
* Fix the installation instructions link in the README
The original linked page (Getting started) assumed the user already had an installed system, which clearly was not the intention of the link.
So I replaced it with a link to the installation instructions, and removed the quick advice. The installation instructions are well structured and complete.
* Change to https
Links to ansible.com should end up over https
Seem to be missing the http -> https redirect from the docs site, I'll poke someone about that
Add tox integration to run unittests in supported python releases.
Travis-CI is used for test execution.
Additionally, the unittest TestQuotePgIdentifier was updated to support
using assert_raises_regexp on python-2.6.
Sample travis-ci output available at
https://travis-ci.org/ansible/ansible/builds/54189977
There should be a period after "Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases". It should read "Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases." This should keep the Branch Info listings consistent.
