This fixes a problem when trying to install a package with a specific version
number from a local directory and the local directory is checked after a remote
repository:
Error from http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/[...]/packagename-1.0.tgz
ftp: Error retrieving file: 404 Not Found
packagename-1.0: ok
Previously, a configuration file name of None was being passed into
up2dateInitConfig(). This resulted in a correct configuration import,
but failed to properly save the configuration back to disk in the event
a different serverURL was supplied. This change removes support for
customizing the up2date filename entirely, and relies on up2date to
choose the default config filename.
Older python-apt modules don't export Package.installed_files and there
seems to be no other way to figure out if a package is
removed-but-not-purged, so we just always assume it's purged.

A package may be removed but not purged with APT. The only way to
identify this state is by looking at the list of installed files of
a package. Even if the package has no files installed, this list will be
non-empty until the package is removed:
# python -c "import apt; c=apt.Cache(); c.update(); c.open(); p=c['ruby1.8']; print p, p.installed, p.installed_files"
<Package: name:'ruby1.8' id:1425> None [u'']
# dpkg --purge ruby1.8
(Reading database ... 27904 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing ruby1.8 ...
Purging configuration files for ruby1.8 ...
# python -c "import apt; c=apt.Cache(); c.update(); c.open(); p=c['ruby1.8']; print p, p.installed, p.installed_files"
<Package: name:'ruby1.8' id:1425> None []
See http://bugs.debian.org/712749 too.
If a package is not marked installed but it still 'has_files', then it
should be processed if the request is to purge it.

A small error in the reuse of a variable caused packages to never get
purged. This commit fixes that.

hardcoded lists in ansible code, just add WITH_ITEMS_USES_LIST in a
comment anywhere, and of course, support recieving params as list.

Migrated all examples: in DOCUMENTATION=''' string to standalone EXAMPLES=''' string
Added deprecation warning to moduledev.rst and remove deprecated example from it
Fixed up a few typos and uppercased some acronyms.
add consistency to how EXAMPLES are formatted
The biggest change has been to package_latest since it was previously
just comparing version numbers before and after an upgrade had run.
We now parse the output from a dry run instead.
Thanks to Johan Belin for triggering the discussion :).
rhnreg_ks command allows users to manage registration to a Red Hat
Network (RHN) (e.g. rhn.redhat.com) server. The moduel will also
interact with the specified RHN system via XMLRPC as needed.
Before proceeding with registration, the rhnreg_ks module will enable
the system to receive updates from RHN. This involves enabling the
appropriate RHN yum plugin, as well as disabling an active
subscription-manager yum plugin.
Once enabled, the module will support the following operations:
* configure
* register
* subscribe to custom child channels (see `rhn-channel` command)
* unregister
The subscription_manager module acts as a wrapper to the command
'subscription-manager'. The subscription-manager utility allows users
to manage RHN registration, subscription and yum repositories from the
Red Hat Entitlement platform.
Currently, this module supports the following sub-commands:
* config
* [un]register
* subscribe
