* Add --installroot to YUM and DNF modules, issue #11310
This continues ansible-modules-core#1558, and
ansible-modules-core#1669
Allow specifying installroot for the yum and dnf modules
to install and remove packages in a location other than /.
* Remove empty aliases
* Simpler installroot set default logic
This commit also adds the module to DEFAULT_SQUASH_ACTIONS which is
possible with this change.
The module still calls the pkg_* tools once per name internally, so the only
difference is less invocations of the module itself when using with_items.
Previously, packages were installed one at a time in a loop. This caused
a couple of problems.
First, it was a performance issue - pacman would have to perform all of
its checks once per package. This is unnecessarily costly, especially
when you're trying to install several related packages at the same time.
Second, if a package you're trying to install depends on a virtual
package that is provided by several different packages (such as the
"libgl" package on Arch) and you aren't also installing something that
provides that virtual package at the same time, pacman will produce an
interactive prompt to allow the user to select a relevant package. This
is obviously incompatible with how ansible operates. Yes, this problem
could be avoided by installing packages in a different order, but the
order of installation shouldn't matter, and there may be situations
where it is not possible to control the order of installation.
With this refactoring, all of the above problems are avoided. The code
will now work out all of the packages that need to be installed from any
configured repositories and any packages that need to be installed from
local files, and then install all the repository packages in one go and
then all of the local file packages in one go.
It's possible to compress packages using several different compression
methods, or not compressed at all. Previously, the pacman module only
supported files compressed using xz. This update ensures that all
compression types currently supported by pacman are supported by the
ansible pacman module.
The list of supported compression methods at the time of writing can be
found here:

* added alpha version of the 'sorcery' module
* fully conforming YAML
* use bundled check for executables
* - codex_list(): use commands instead of checksums to get sorcery version and verify codex equality - renamed: - manage_depends() -> match_depends() - tocast -> cast_queue, todispel -> dispel_queue, needs_recast -> depends_ok - SORCERY_LOG -> SORCERY_LOG_DIR, SORCERY_STATE -> SORCERY_STATE_DIR - removed: - SORCERY_VERSION_FILE - CODEX - added commentary to match_depends() and manage_spells() - fixed bug about dropped dependency line for previously existed dependency - fixed bug about not fixing depends for the 'latest' state - simplified several code constructions
* cleaned up some docs
* do not use separate message for Codex update, rely on the 'changed' status instead
* use built-in list conversion (_check_type_list()) for spells
* corrected spell name extraction from list in match_depends()
* avoid non-matching dependencies line duplication in depends file
* added more complex playbook example
* tiny stylistic fix for docs
* replaced ternary construction with a regular statement
* replaced yet another ternary construction with a regular statement
* enable Python 2.4 compatibility by splitting try-finally block
* enable Python 2.4 compatibility by replacing 'with' statement with try-except+try-finally blocks
* unify spells' assign
* replaced one regex with startswith()
* go Ansible 2.1
* added dummy RETURN template
* go Ansible 2.2
* better clarify permissions' requirements
* - updated copyright years - fixed rebuild command bug - re-used run_command_environ_update dict for env var management
* handle Python 3.5
* Revert "handle Python 3.5"
This reverts commit 33a5a0eb64c1193318298e111f063cdd5f93b73a.
* handle Python 3.5 (2nd try)
* go Ansible 2.3
* clarity++
Allow installation of PPA repositories on non-Ubuntu Debian derived
distribution targets (e.g. neon, Mint, Debian itself) by removing the
specific check for UbuntuDistribution before allowing PPA: format
sources. This fixes the addition of PPA repositories under KDE neon (as
the codenames match the base Ubuntu distribution).
To make the functionality also useful under Mint and Debian which have
different codenames to their Ubuntu upstream / downstream releases, add
a 'codename' option to override the default used in the PPA source
entry.
* Add 'on the remote server' to `file` parameter description
* Add example showing how to use the `file` parameter, with specific
language about the file's location being on the 'remote server'
* apt: If the cache object fails to lost due to a corrupt file, try to update the cache until it is fixed.
* Append -q to the update parameters
* Remove unused variable
* Use a string that doesn't rely on internationalization
* Use py24 exception style
* Use get_exception
