* fixes#2158
* handles version-specifiers (>,<,>=,<=,=) correctly
* adds option "oldpackage", which is passed to zypper
* this is implied as soon as a version is specified
* it can be used independently to allow downgrades coming from repos
* add __main__ check
* extend documentation on version specifier
* zypper cleanup checks for failure/diff
* move check for changed/failed from functions back to main
* handle all cases identially
* generate diff together
* fix module name
* added zypper refresh support
* removed trailing symbols
* added forced zypper refresh support similar to update_cache for apt module
* removed unnecessary blocks and cleaned up the logic for refresh
* added update_cache as alias for refresh to be similar to apt/yum module
* update zypper module according to comments
* refactor zypper module
Cleanup:
* remove mention of old_zypper (no longer supported)
* requirement goes up to zypper 1.0, SLES 11.0, openSUSE 11.1
* allows to use newer features (xml output)
* already done for zypper_repository
* use zypper instead of rpm to get old version information, based on work by @jasonmader
* don't use rpm, zypper can do everything itself
* run zypper only twice, first to determine current state, then to apply changes
New features:
* determine change by parsing zypper xmlout
* determine failure by checking return code
* allow simulataneous installation/removal of packages (using '-' and '+' prefix)
* allows to swap out alternatives without removing packages depending
on them
* implement checkmode, using zypper --dry-run
* implement diffmode
* implement 'name=* state=latest' and 'name=* state=latest type=patch'
* add force parameter, handed to zypper to allow downgrade or change of vendor/architecture
Fixes/Replaces:
* fixes#1627, give changed=False on installed patches
* fixes#2094, handling URLs for packages
* fixes#1461, fixes#546, allow state=latest name='*'
* fixes#299, changed=False on second install, actually this was fixed earlier, but it is explicitly tested now
* fixes#1824, add type=application
* fixes#1256, install rpm from path, this is done by passing URLs and paths directly to zypper
* fix typo in package_update_all
* minor fixes
* remove commented code block
* bump version added to 2.2
* deal with zypper return codes 103 and 106
if the rpm query is missing a package name (or giving some error): fail soft
before the patch: the module fails because the installed_state dict is missing the package name
after the patch: the missing package is assumed to not be in the correct state and is installed/removed with zypper
package_latest was calling package_present but did not care
about the return code so errors in package_present were hidden
and everthing look ok on the console when zypper update did not fail,
but no packages where installed.
Fix bug in ansible get_package_state and get_current_version that breaks when there are multiple versions of a package installed and there is a list of packages to install.
The previous implementation used 'zip' to match requested names to installed names which fails, because rpm outputs multiple lines per package when there are multiple versions.
Testcase: Install opensuse, install multiple kernel versions (happens by update)
Before patch: calling
zypper: state=present for name={{item}}
with_items:
- kernel-desktop
- git
leads to ansible aborting.
After the patch ansible performs as expected and makes sure both packages are present.
Also the last version number is used for further update information in this version (before if only one package name was given the oldest version number was used).
