* updated devleoping plugins
Added info about action plugins and tests
made ref to task plugins/modules
updated/corrected some of the existing texts
* updated per feedback
While doing evil things with action plugins, I hit a code path in which
the mkdir here was failing due to lack of parent dir. Changing this to
makedirs made everything happy. Now, I'd obviously like to understand
why the parent dir exists in some places and not others - but I could
not find anywhere that C.DEFAULT_LOCAL_TMP is ensured to be created.
* Add support for no-expiration to jsonfile cache
* Let memcached cache use fact_caching_timeout=0
If fact_cache=memcached and fact_caching_timeout=0
memcached would hit a NameError on _expire_keys
Change linux fact gathering to correctly gather ansible_processor_count
and ansible_processor_vcpus on systems without vendor_id/model_name in
/proc/cpuinfo (for ex, ppc64/POWER)
* Added aws_retry decorator function with unit tests
* Restructured the code to be used with a base class.
This base class CloudRetry can be reused by any other cloud provider.
This decorator should be used in situations, where you need to implement
a backoff algorithm and want to retry based on the status code from the
exception.
* updated documentation
* fixed tabs
* added botocore and boto3 to requirements.txt
* removed cloud.py from py24 tests, as it depends on boto3
* fix relative imports
* updated test to be 2.6 compat
* updated method name from retry to backoff
* readded lxd
* Updated default backoff from 2 seconds to 1.1s.
This will be about a total of 48 seconds in 10 tries. This is
configurable.
* Fixes to the controller text model
* Change command line args to text type
* Make display replace undecodable bytes with replacement chars. This
is only a problem on pyhton3 where surrogates can enter into the msg
but sys.stdout doesn't know how to handle them.
* Remove a deprecated playbook syntax in unicode.yml
* Fix up run_cmd to change its parameters to byte string at appropriate times.
