* Add dnf and yum commands in "Installation" section
Even though the command is very simple, it's good to be able to c&p it.
There were already commands for apt, emerge, pip, even direct installation
from git, so adding Fedora/RHEL/CentOS examples is reasonable.
Since yum is not installed by default on any supported Fedora releases
(F26 and F28 currently), recommend dnf.
* Tiny edit
Empty __init__ will allow us to use python namespaces with all of these
files. That may be something we want to take advantage of for allowign
them to be expanded by user dirs. Also might be needed for AnsiballZ or
other wrapper enhancements in the future.

avoid making gathered facts high precedence, only set_fact is supposed to be.
vars set via set_fact with cacheable are higher precedence than plain facts.
Previously (after 6fbd0a8bb5) regular facts would end up with a
higher precedence than host or play vars, but they should not be. Facts were getting added to 'non_persistent_facts' (equivalent to 'register' vars) which is higher precedence than facts should be.
added 'cacheable set_facts' to precedence docs
'ansible_facts_cacheable' -> '_ansible_facts_cacheable' (made 'private')
* (minor) fix broken link, awkward phrasing
Simple transposition error was resulting in a link not
being properly htmlified.
Also clean up redundant 'this' and trailing whitespace.

loop: "{{lookup('nested', [1,2,3], ['a','b','c'])}}"
- avoid squashing with 'loop:'
- fixed test to use new intenal attributes
- removed most of 'lookup docs' as these now reside in the plugins
this should allow user to control how they want the playbook dirs inspected
for additional vars, default now reverts to 2.3 behaviour (top).
corrected paths order
minor doc reword
reason: The link is showing verbatim in the docs, where it should only
show "knowledge base article".
Also, generating the docs shows a lot of:
docs/docsite/rst/win_acl_module.rst:424: WARNING: Unknown target name: "know ledge base article<https://access.redhat.com/articles/rhel-top-support-policies>".
* Improve and link Network Proxy docs
It is possible for proxy issues to cause "unable to open shell", so
detail there.
Having the "how-to" in the debug page makes more sense than on the
porting page, so move it.
Fixed a few formatting issues at the same time.

As discussed before we selected win_environment to the documentation,
and point to win_uri for a more advanced module.
If we want to make this the reference module, we have to get this one
absolutely right in every possible way.
This PR cleans up both win_environment and win_uri, and makes the
required changes to the windows module development section.
As outlined in https://docs.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.0.html#integers,
sys.maxint doesn't exist anymore in Python 3.x because there is no maximum
value for integers in Python 3.x. sys.maxsize is present in all
versions of Python that are currently supported by Ansible, so use that
instead as an arbitrarily large index value.
Fixes the following build error when building with Python 3.x:

* The 'YAML+Jinja' syntax lex fails here, so just use yaml
Since the yaml+jinja highlight fails, code wasnt highlighted
at all, but 'yaml' works more or less.
* just use no lexer for the < python2.6 examples
py3 will fail highlighting them, and 'python2' throws
a lexer warning, and nothing actually highlights it, so
just disable.
Fixes#29060
Allow delegate_to if transport is either nxapi or eapi.
Persistent connection uses `cli` transport and create
a local socket on control node. Hence delegate_to is not allowed
for `cli` transport.
However as `nxapi` and `eapi` transport does not use persistent connection
it is possible to use delegate_to in this case.
from __future__ unicode_literals leads to developer confusion as
developers no longer can tell whether a bare literal string is a byte
string or a unicode string. Explicit marking as u"" or b"" is the way
to solve the same problem in the Ansbile codebase.

* Edits based on
6e34ea6242 and

* add a optparse 'desc' to lib/ansible/cli/config.py
The man page needs a short desc for the 'NAME' field
which it gets from the option parse 'desc' value.
Fixes building ansible-config man page.
* add trim_docstring from pep257 to generate_man
use pep258 docstring trim function to fix up any indention
weirdness inherit to doc strings (ie, lines other than
first line being indented.
* Add refs to cli command actions
To reference ansible-vaults --vault-id option, use:
:option:`The link text here <ansible-vault --vault-id>`
or:
:option:`--vault-id <ansible-vault --vault-id>`
To reference ansible-vault's 'encrypt' action, use:
:ref:`The link text here <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
or most of the time:
:ref:`ansible-vault encrypt <ansible_vault_encrypt>`
Since json_query treats backticks as delimiters for literals,
some of the examples in the json_query docs can be made a little
simpler. Rather than replacing such examples, demonstrate the
alternative

This change fixes two issues with the generated return table:
1. When specifying a list of strings in the 'description' field of a
return value, it shows them in Python list syntax on the resulting
web page, e.g. `['a', 'b', 'c']`.
2. When specifying more than one line for the 'sample' field, the
result table gets damaged in the HTML output.
In addition, this change re-arranges the HTML tags produced in the
generated RST file such that they line up nicely and can better be
checked by humans for completeness.

Unfortunately, the Github interface does no longer allow me to edit a file in the GUI and then branch it in my personal clone for making a PR. It now only offers to make a PR using a branch on the ansible repository :-(
So committing this directly instead against my will, but per the guidelines this appears to be safe. Fingers crossed...
We are reserving the _ identifier for i18n work. Code should use the
identifier dummy for dummy variables instead.
This test is currently skipped as someone needs to generate the list of
files which are currently out of compliance before this can be turned
on.
* Implement ability to limit module documentation building:
- Added new option to plugin_formatter.py to support passing-in a list of
modules for which the documentation should be built.
- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via
environment variables (defaulting to all modules).
- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.
* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:
- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
using special value "".

* use suboptions keyword for the manageiq connection
* do not log the managiq connection struct (it include sensitive information like username and password)
* add missing from __future__

* Use sub options
* Added placeholder topics for community info
* Setup community section index.
* Initial move of triage process docs.
* Typo/test
* Removed triage topic from index.
This allows a single template to be evaluated with different values in
the same task. For example, with a template like 'x:{{a}}', one could do
something like this:
- foo:
a: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=foo[item])) }}"
b: "{{ lookup('template', 'x.j2', template_vars=dict(a=bar[item])) }}"
with_items:
- x
- y
…and "a" and "b" would expand to different strings based on what we
passed in to the template lookup.
* Add command_timeout timer that defines the amount
of time to wait for a command or RPC call before

We do want to allow certain from __future__ imports in modules that make
it easier to code compatible python2 and python3. Note that
unicode_literals is specifically left out and should never be allowed.
Now that python-3.4+ allows u"" there's no good reason to use
unicode_literals.
Also switch tables in the validate_modules documentation to simple table format
- New option for ini plugins: encoding
- Add a new option encoding to _get_file_contents
- Use replace option in test/runner/lib/util.py when calling decode on stdout/err
output when diff have non-utf8 sequences
* use git+https:// in the example url because not everyone will have ssh
keys registered on github
* Remove the link to the github tarballs as they do not work. users can
use releases.ansible.com instead.
This commit:
- Adds a table highlighting the status of each version and provides

Initial commit to split includes into static imports/dynamic includes
This implements the new include/import syntax for Ansible 2.4:
* include_{tasks,role,variables} = dynamic
* import_{playbook,tasks,role} = static
The old bare `include` will be considered deprecated, as will any use of the `static: {yes|no}` option.
This also adds docs for import/include and reorganizing the "Playbook Reuse" section of the documentation.

CVE-2017-7481
Lookup returns wrap the result in unsafe, however when used through the
standard templar engine, this does not result in the jinja2 environment being
marked as unsafe as a whole. This means the lookup result looses the unsafe
protection and may become simple unicode strings, which can result in bad
things being re-templated.
This also adds a global lookup param and cfg options for lookups to allow
unsafe returns, so users can force the previous (insecure) behavior.
The makefile in docs/api/ had a top level check for the
'sphinx-build' tool, but the check was getting triggered
on 'make clean' when it is not needed and causing 'make rpm'
and similar builds to fail.
So this commit removes the check.

Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files
**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA
**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)
**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules
Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
The existing examples in the "Gotchas" section were rather simple. Expanded upon those to add some additional clarity around how the quoting in YAML works.
* Added example of referring to AWS-credentials
.. when they're stored in variables. Spent few hours trying to figure out why credentials from vault/variables were not used.
* Update guide_aws.rst
Edited for grammar.
* inventory: test 'all' & 'ungrouped' groups created by default
* Mention default groups 'all' & 'ungrouped'
* Update intro_inventory.rst
Minor grammatical edit.
This commit also adds a new test script (ansible-var-precedence-check.py in code-smell/)
to provide us with another line of defense against precedence bugs going forward.
The precedence docs state that the INI vars have a lower precedence than group/host
vars files for inventory and playbooks, however that has not been the case since 2.0
was released. This change fixes that in one way, though not exactly as the docs say.
The rules are:
1) INI/script < inventory dir < playbook dir
2) "all" group vars < other group_vars < host_vars
So the new order will be (from the test script mentioned above):
8. pb_host_vars_file - var in playbook/host_vars/host
9. ini_host_vars_file - var in inventory/host_vars/host
10. ini_host - host var inside the ini
11. pb_group_vars_file_child - var in playbook/group_vars/child
12. ini_group_vars_file_child - var in inventory/group_vars/child
13. pb_group_vars_file_parent - var in playbook/group_vars/parent
14. ini_group_vars_file_parent - var in inventory/group_vars/parent
15. pb_group_vars_file_all - var in playbook/group_vars/all
16. ini_group_vars_file_all - var in inventory/group_vars/all
17. ini_child - child group var inside the ini
18. ini_parent - parent group var inside the ini
19. ini_all - all group var inside the ini
Fixes#21845
* Add role skeleton support
The default role skeleton used by ansible-galaxy is good, but it doesn't
allow organizations to customize it to suit their needs. This patch
addresses that by adding the option to point ansible-galaxy at a
role skeleton directory. The contents of this directory are then
copied (or rendered) into the output role directory. Appropriate
command line options and configuration entries are added to allow for
further customization from the role skeleton.
* Remove dependency on platforms list from test
Platforms are no longer provided to the template by galaxy init.
Removing the code in our test meta/main.yml template that relied on it.
* Fix whitespace issue
* Fixes passlib example in FAQ to reduce the number of rounds to 5000
As stated in issue #15326, the default number for glibc is 5000, where
the default for passlib is 656000.
I actually found out when I spend few hours trying to understand why
ansible was taking almost x3 the time to run a playbook when using a
user with sudo and password (comparared to sudo with NOPASSWD set).
Well, it was because the user was created using ansible and the passlib
example found in the docs' FAQ.
Reducing the numbers of rounds to 5000 will ensure a better experience
with ansible for newcomers when using sudo with a password.
* Fixes passlib example in FAQ to reflect the API changes in passlib 1.7
Method encrypt() was deprecated in 1.7 and renamed to hash(), which
happened almost a year ago.
https://passlib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/lib/passlib.ifc.html#passlib.ifc.PasswordHash.encrypt
* Remove assemble from list of windows modules, but advise you can delegate appropriate modules to localhost. Try to fix list of usable on windows modules to appear as a list instead of on one line.
* Update intro_windows.rst
Minor edit
I have from time to time a need of random password without
wanting to write them down (one example is mailman list creation,
that requires a password to be given to be sent to the list owner).
But using /dev/null do not return null, but the empty string, which
doesn't generate a password at all and so do not achieve my use case.
Move to using a requirements.txt to install the python packages.
This makes it easy to keep the documentation and actual package
dependencies in sync.

Replace docs build-site.py with default-ish sphinx build
This seems to speed up docsite build _alot_.
The Makefile.sphinx is the sphinx-quickstart generated makefile with a few changes.
The CPUS env var or 'nproc' output is used for the number of cpus passed to 'sphinx-build -j'
Because we add the names of all filters to the callable whitelist used
by safe_eval, adding a filter named type makes it so code calling "type()"
gets eval'd. We can't think of a way to exploit this but it's
sufficiently sketchy that we're renaming it in case someone smarter than
us can think of a problem.
Instead of asking the user to type something prior to running the script, why not allow -Verbose on the command line directly.
Also log important events to EventLog, so that it can be traced e.g. when running via RunOnce mechanism.
The documentation is updated as well.

:doctype:manpage
That attribute was not being correctly rendered in a2x

AUTHOR
:doctype:manpage
Fix with correct formatting of 'doctype' attribute.
Now we have the following ways to set additional arguments:
1. [ssh_connection]ssh_args in ansible.cfg: global setting, prepended to
every command line for ssh/scp/sftp. Overrides default ControlPersist
settings.
2. ansible_ssh_common_args inventory variable. Appended to every command
line for ssh/scp/sftp. Used in addition to ssh_args, if set above, or
the default settings.
3. ansible_{sftp,scp,ssh}_extra_args inventory variables. Appended to
every command line for the relevant binary only. Used in addition to
#1 and #2, if set above, or the default settings.
3. Using the --ssh-common-args or --{sftp,scp,ssh}-extra-args command
line options (which are overriden by #2 and #3 above).
This preserves backwards compatibility (for ssh_args in ansible.cfg),
but also permits global settings (e.g. ProxyCommand via _common_args) or
ssh-specific options (e.g. -R via ssh_extra_args).

Don't disable GSSAPI/Pubkey authentication when using --ask-pass
This commit is based on a bug report and PR by kolbyjack (#6846) which
was subsequently closed and rebased as #11690. The original problem was:
«The password on the delegated host is different from the one I
provided on the command line, so it had to use the pubkey, and the
main host doesn't have a pubkey on it yet, so it had to use the
password.»
(This commit is revised and included here because #11690 would conflict
with the changes in #11908 otherwise.)

Be more explicit about why SSH arguments are added
This adds vvvvv log messages that spell out in detail where each SSH
command-line argument is obtained from.
Unfortunately, we can't be sure if, say, self._play_context.remote_user
is obtained from ANSIBLE_REMOTE_USER in the environment, remote_user in
ansible.cfg, -u on the command line, or an ansible_ssh_user setting in
the inventory or on a task or play. In some cases, e.g. timeout, we
can't even be sure if it was set by the user or just a default.
Nevertheless, on the theory that at five v's you can use all the hints
available, I've mentioned the possible sources in the log messages.
Note that this caveat applies only to the arguments that ssh.py adds by
itself. In the case of ssh_args and ssh_extra_args, we know where they
are from, and say so, though we can't say WHERE in the inventory they
may be set (e.g. in host_vars or group_vars etc.).

Allow ansible_ssh_args to be set as an inventory variable
Before this change, ssh_args could be set only in the [ssh_connection]
section of ansible.cfg, and was applied to all hosts. Now it's possible
to set ansible_ssh_args as an inventory variable (directly, or through
group_vars or host_vars) to selectively override the global setting.
Note that the default ControlPath settings are applied only if ssh_args
is not set, and this is true of ansible_ssh_args as well. So if you want
to override ssh_args but continue to set ControlPath, you'll need to
repeat the appropriate options when setting ansible_ssh_args.
(If you only need to add options to the default ssh_args, you may be
able to use the ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable instead.)

Allow overriding ansible_ssh_extra_args on the command-line
This patch makes it possible to do:
ansible somehost -m setup \
--ssh-extra-args '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q user@bouncer.example.com"'
This overrides the inventory setting, if any, of ansible_ssh_extra_args.
Based on a patch originally by @Richard2ndQuadrant.
commit b023ace8a8
Author: Abhijit Menon-Sen <ams@2ndQuadrant.com>
Date: Mon Aug 10 19:06:19 2015 +0530
Add an ansible_ssh_extra_args inventory variable
This can be used to configure a per-host or per-group ProxyCommand to
connect to hosts through a jumphost, e.g.:
inventory:
[gatewayed]
foo ansible_ssh_host=192.0.2.1
group_vars/gatewayed.yml:
ansible_ssh_extra_args: '-o ProxyCommand="ssh -W %h:%p -q bounceuser@gateway.example.com"'
Note that this variable is used in addition to any ssh_args configured
in the [ssh_connection] section of ansible.cfg (so you don't need to
repeat the ControlPath settings in ansible_ssh_extra_args).
The --new-vault-password-file option works the same as
--vault-password-file but applies only to rekeying (when
--vault-password-file sets the old password). Also update the manpage
to document these options more fully.
Thi permit to simplify the command line to use by using
a sensible default, and so reduce the number of incorrect
possible choices and setup needed. Among potential
incorrect choices is using a fixed directory in /tmp, which
could be problematic with a setup whose access is not
properly restricted.
This flag will show playbook output from non-failing commands. -v is also added to /usr/bin/ansible, but not yet used.
I also gutted some internals code dealing with 'invocations' which allowed the callback to know what module invoked
it. This is not something 0.5 does or needed, so callbacks have been simplified.
