By switching to block style (`|`) with clip (no `-` or `+`) the failure
messages don't require quoting and gain a single trailing newline. This causes
Ansible to print them as block style, when using the yaml stdout callback
plugin. As a result the values have one less layer of quoting and quote
escaping, making them much easier to read.
macOS 11 is not longer an available runner on Azure Devops. The minimum is now
macOS 12. This runner does not have Python 2.7 installed, so running them
would require a custom install - which I'm declaring too much effort for too
little gain.
refs #1090
A few changes are bundled in this
- Ansible 2.10.x and Mitogen 0.3.x are used to build nearly all images
(Ansile 2.3.x is retained for CentOS 5, because it uses Python 2.4).
- Tox is used to install/run Ansible, replacing build_docker_images.py
- A static inventory, identifying containers by name rather than ID.
- debian-test image is renamed to debian9-test
- debian9-test image is now based on debian:9
- centos6-test image is now based on moreati/centos6-vault
following the same scheme as centos5-test.
- Images are now uploaded to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
See #809.
- Debian recommended packages aren't installed (e.g. build-essential)
- Python 2.x and Python 3.x are installed wherever available.
- Python Virtualenv is installed wherever available.
