Archive.py allows you to pass a glob path of files to archive.
This allows end users to glob a dir, and exlude a list of dirs
from the archive which are not necessary.
* Add example of templating inline using copy module
The **copy** module documentation implies that `content:` only works
for 'simple values' and for complex stuff you need the **template**
module, but that is an understatement. You can use **copy** to template
anything you desire.
So I changed the wording, added an example, and also added a note
to the template module that the **copy** module could be used for
'inline templating'.
This fixes#19741.
unsafe_writes currently allows updating a file that can be updated but
not removed (for instance, when docker mounted). This change also
allows unsafe_writes to write to writable files in unwritable dirs. For
instance, if a system has made a single file inside of /etc/ writable to
a specific normal user.
Fixes#14961
* We need a directory walker that can handle symlinks, empty directories,
and some other odd needs. This commit contains a directory walker that
can do all that. The walker returns information about the files in the
directories that we can then use to implement different strategies for
copying the files to the remote machines.
* Add local_follow parameter to copy that follows local symlinks (follow
is for remote symlinks)
* Refactor the copying of files out of run into its own method
* Add new integration tests for copy
Fixes#24949Fixes#21513
* Fix symlink handling
On symlinks, make lnk_source return the absolute path of the target of the symlink.
Add a new return field lnk_target that returns the actual, unexpanded path to the target of the symlink.
This is a new fix to replace #20361 due to the synchronize module changing
sufficiently to make that commit no longer merge cleanly.
Fixes#20361

* Mutually reference Windows and non-Windows modules
To make it easier for Windows or non-Windows users to find the relevant
module information, we are mutually referencing both variants in their
documentation.
We are also adding a special note if a module works on both Windows and
non-Windows targets.

* Replace 'look at' with 'use', as requested
ci_complete
Now that remote-to-remote copies are supported in the copy module,
the module documentation has been updated to indicate this in the
synopsis and examples to make the capability obvious for someone
skimming the documentation.
* using a _named_ capture in our assembled pattern, since before/after could potentially contain their own parenthesized captures
* ensuring we only replace against the named capture in question
* removing some duplication in the regexp replacement, that was introduced in ansible/ansible#22535
* fixed edge case of before/after not matching file content to replace
Fixesansible/ansible#24840
Reads the directory_mode param as 'raw' type to mirror the same behavior as mode.
This'll cause non-quoted values to be represented as an int, rather than a str.
Covered by 'assert recursive copied directories mode' test.
Fixes#24202
Recent Python3 versions require open() to specify binary mode if the data is anything other than text.
Python3: Use int() instead of long() in unarchive
Changes long() to int() for CRC values in the unarchive module. Affects unarchiving of zip files. Since CRC values in zipfile are 32 bits the behaviour should be unchanged even in Python 2.
* synchronize: Convert cmd to list and fix handling of the copy_links argument
Converting cmd from str to list stops the pain of argument quoting/escaping.
* synchronize: Update imports according to #pullrequestreview-28758614
This change to the template action plugin make template use the
platform's native newline_sequence for Jinja.
We also added the option `newline_sequence` to change the newline
sequence using by Jinja if you need to use another newline sequence than
the platform default.
