announcements was left out
* Add announce.py to the compile skip lists as only the release engineers
run this during package build.
* Generate galaxy.yml based on single source of truth
* Fix up tests and align file names
* Minor Makefile tweak
* Remove link in galaxy.yml file and make it a template file

* Move generate_man to a build-ansible subcommand
* Port plugin_formatter to a build-ansible subcommand
* Rework command_plugins so that docs scripts can target Python-3.4+ and
releng-only subcommands can use more recent versions of Python.
The architecture is now that command_plugins/* need to be importable
on Python-3.4. The init_parsers() method needs to run on Python-3.4.
But the main() method can utilize features of more recent Python as
long as it fits within those parameters.
* Update docs build requirements
Port the plugin_formatter to build-ansible framework
ansible-test only passes files which have the .py suffix for sanity
tests on python files. This change will allow sanity tests to run on
the Python files in hacking/
* Rename test-module to test-module.py
* Symlink test-module for backwards compat since end users may be using
test-module
* Fix test-module sanity errors that are now triggered

* Rename build-ansible
* Update testing policies to ensure all required permissions are present
* Tidy up security policies to reduce duplicate permissions
* Make roles static so that they can be present before CI is run,
meaning that role creation permission is not required by the CI
itself, only by someone setting up the roles prior to testing
* Move contents to cloudfront policy to network policy to ensure policy
count (maximum of 10) stays low
* Maintain compute policy below 6144 bytes
Not waiting outputs results in a format that will never
be matched by the tests
Ensure instances get tidied up
Allow ec2:ReportInstanceStatus
ec2_instance: Improve test cleanup on failing tests

Address feedback on PR
* Get the most detailed version number from distro.version() for CentOS and Debian
* Update tests and fixtures
* Update fixture generation script to gather distro info and work with Python 3
* Update LinuxMint fixtures
* Cleanup fixture formatting
* Improvements based on feedback from abadger:
- use unicode since that is what distro returns
- use frozenset with a tuple
- include link Debian to bug
* new module uses modern ansible AWS standards
* adds additional tests for snapshots
* Update return_skeleton_generator for python3 - should
set type to `str`, not `string`.

* Create read replica in same region to avoid more permissions being
required
* Ensure modifying DB doesn't try to downgrade engine version
* Add tags to main test suite to limit number of tests run for problem
solving
* Combine testing policies
Because of the maximum of 10 policies per group, need to
consolidate testing policies as best we can.
* Tidy put-account-setting tasks and add permission
Using `environment` and `command` rather than `shell` avoids the
need for `no_log` and means that people can fix the problem
* refactor ecs_cluster test suite
move from runme.sh technique to virtualenv
use ec2_instance rather than ec2 module to
avoid need for boto
* Add waiter for AWSRegional
* Add support for WAF Regional

This is more in line with how AWS refers to the service. Additional
changes made to how client is called. Used ternary to reduce if
statements

* Add support for removal waf regional condition
* Change parameter from cloudfront to waf_regional
* Added state: absent waf rule
* Remove set_trace
* Add integration tests for waf regional
* WIP: adding region parameter to tests
* Add support for waf facts module
* Add region to waf regional integration tests
* Update security policy for waf regional testing
* Add type to documentation for waf_regional param
* Implement a framework for having common code for release scripts
* Release scripts will go through hacking/build-ansible. build-ansible is
a pluggable script which will set a directory that has common code for
non-enduser scripts. It will then invoke the plugin which implements
that subcommand. Uses straight.plugin for loading each sub-command.
* We're going to add tools which are needed to test ansible (the changelog
generation, for instance) so we need to include the pieces relevant to
that in the tarball.
* Add straight.plugin to the sanity test requirements for the same
reason
* Skip compile test just for build-ansible plugins which won't be run as
part of sanity tests.
* Make test-module use default value for interpreter
* Changing from static interpreter path to sys.executable as per #54053
* A little ntegration test for #54053
Figure out how to format the release announcement so a link isn't
directly followed by a period which would hinder cutand paste but uses
proper grammar and punctuation.
Announcements taken from https://github.com/ansible/community/wiki/RelEng:-ReleaseProcess
and then cleaned up:
* Update issue reporting blurb from feedback from acozine and gundalow
* Add a subject and to line for email output
* Ignore long line tests on the jinja templates (as jinja doesn't give
enough control to get rid of newlines when text wrapping)

It seems that on some Linux distribution (Fedora 28, Debian), man will
not fallback on a default path if MANPATH is set. So using the env-setup

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.
revised porting guide entry
Integrate code coverage collection into AnsiballZ.

* aws_eks: New module for managing AWS EKS
aws_eks module is used for creating and removing EKS clusters.
Includes full test suite and updates to IAM policies to enable it.
* Clean up all security groups
* appease shippable
* Rename aws_eks module to aws_eks_cluster
The compute policy was exceeding maximum size and contained
policies that already exist in ecs-policy.
Look up suitable AMIs rather than hardcode
We don't want to maintain multiple image IDs for multiple regions
so use ec2_ami_facts to set a suitable image ID
Improve exception handling
* Fix test-module failing to validate args
The test-module pass a wrong argument _ansible_tmp cause the validation failed.
Change the argument _ansible_tmp to _ansible_tmpdir to fix this.
* Add a integration test for test-module.
Prior to this change, we don't have a test for test-module.
This change ensure the correctness of test-module script.
Remove VPC permissions from network-policy.json as they mostly duplicate
compute-policy.json permissions - separating the VPC and compute permissions
would likely lead to further confusion.
We only needed it for migrating cherrypicks between the unified repo and
the ansible-modules-* repos. Now that we aren't supporting 2.3, we no
longer need this script.
* New module: ec2_vpc_vpn_facts
* Add integration tests for ec2_vpc_vpn_facts and the IAM permissions
* Add retry to VPC removal
* Use unique name for VGW

Use runme.sh technique to run old and new versions of botocore to
ensure that the modules work with older botocore and older network modes
and fail gracefully if awsvpc network mode is used with older botocore
* Add aws_ses_identity_policy module for managing SES sending policies
* Add option to AnsibleAWSModule for applying a retry decorator to all calls.
* Add per-callsite opt in to retry behaviours in AnsibleAWSModule

* Add test for aws_ses_identity_policy module with inline policy.
* Remove implicit retrys on boto resources since they're not working yet.
Cloudfront needs CreateOriginAccessIdentity
Add profile parameter to setup-iam.yml. Could arguably just use
AWS_PROFILE but given that other tasks are using profile, should
be consistent.

The search string used to look for Clear Linux
was changed in 45a9f96774 to
be more specific, but was too specific. Now finding
a substring match for 'Clear Linux' in /usr/lib/os-release
is enough to consider a match.
Since the details of the full name in os-release varies
('Clear Linux Software for Intel Architecture',
'Clear Linux OS for Intel Architecture', etc) the
search string match was failing and would fall back to the
'first word in the release file' method resulting in
ansible_distribution='NAME="Clear'
Also add a meta fact indicating which search string
was matched.
Test case info from:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31501#issuecomment-340861535Fixes#31501
People expect to be able to upload files to s3 using standard
locations for files.
Providing an action plugin that effectively rewrites the `src`
key to the result of finding such a file is a great help.
