- Backport config file handling from the DNF module rewrite #527
(Current config handling does not work with dnf and leads to
tracebacks when run as an unprivileged user).
- Make a mandatory requirement on yum-utils (for /usr/bin/repoquery)
because none of the fallback code works for dnf (it's unported yum API
code).
Both of these issues will be fixed better in the dnf rewrite when it is
feature complete.
Fixes#471
The alternatives module parses the output of update-alternatives, but the expected English phrases may not show up if the system locale is not English. Setting LC_ALL=C when invoking update-alternatives fixes this problem.
Chocolatey 0.9.9+ deprecated support for the `webpi` custom source, so I needed to write this.
[Windows Web Platform Installer](http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx) is a way of installing products and applications for Microsoft IIS on Windows. It has a [command line](http://www.iis.net/learn/install/web-platform-installer/web-platform-installer-v4-command-line-webpicmdexe-rtw-release); this ansible module allows IIS modules to be installed via this means.
To find out names of modules, use `webpicmd /list /listoption:available`.
Notes:
* `webpicmd` must be installed and on `PATH` first (see `win_chocolatey` module; package is `webpicmd`)
* `webpicmd` does not allow modules to be uninstalled
* IIS must be installed first (see `win_feature` module; package is `Web-Server`)
* Installations will
* accept EULA (which otherwise requires user input)
* suppress reboots (so you have to manage those; see `win_reboot` module)
When .NET is installed or updated, ngen is triggered to optimise the installation. This triggers high CPU while it's happening, and usually happens at an inconvenient time.
This allows you to trigger it when you like. Full details and background in doc.
I don't know a way to figure out whether this is required without actually running it.
