Runtime Patches
|
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Three small runtime patches are employed in ``strategy.py`` to hook into
|
|
|
|
|
desirable locations, in order to override uses of shell, the module executor,
|
|
|
|
|
and the mechanism for selecting a connection plug-in. While it is hoped the
|
|
|
|
|
patches can be avoided in future, for interesting versions of Ansible deployed
|
|
|
|
|
today this simply is not possible, and so they continue to be required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The patches are concise and behave conservatively, including by disabling
|
|
|
|
|
themselves when non-Mitogen connections are in use. Additional third party
|
|
|
|
|
plug-ins are unlikely to attempt similar patches, so the risk to an established
|
|
|
|
|
configuration should be minimal.
