Centos 6.x and below use an old RHT style of configuring hostname.
CentOS 7.x and better use systemd. Instead of depending on the
distribution string which seems to have changed over the course of 6.x
we need to explicitly check the version.
Fixes#8997
The "name" parameter seems to be rather important as the identifying feature of a cron job. This is an update to the documentation to further emphasize this.
As far as I can tell, `name` is a required parameter. The guard test at (now) line 458 says you need name if `state == present` and at 464 if `state != present`, although that's not quite as clear. Each of the code paths at 485 - 495 pass the name param through to `add_job`, `update_job` and `remove_job`, and the actual _update_job method earlier seems to require it too. However I don't really know python so I may be wrong, but I can't see the circumstances when `name` is not required.
This avoids a stale situation where name/path contains some impossible path,
but gets configured (faultly) in fstab, and the module only fails after that,
when creating that path.
We wrap get_distribution_version() with a new function,
_get_distribution_version(), that returns `0` when the result is a string or
`None`.
This accounts for the case when get_distribution_version() returns a string,
and we try to compare it to a float. We do this in the hostname module instead
of the module snippets because other modules may want the real string
version.module snippets because other modules may want the real string version.
This fixes a bug introduced by 138b45e3.
The hostname has an additional newline at the end which leads to the
state always being 'changed: true' even if the hostname is unchanged.
Currently facter facts omit facts that a distributed via Puppet. This
commit adds the `--puppet` option.
In cases where puppet is not installed, the command sends a warning to
STDERR *but* completes successfully. So should not cause any issues.
The benefit is, filtering can be done based on facts set by Puppet.
even if the option ```force=yes``` is used in the playbook, it is not reflected in the mkfs command line.
As force option is dependent of the fs type, a "if-then-else" case have been added. Also, some FS types does not have a force option.
