* refactor zypper module
Cleanup:
* remove mention of old_zypper (no longer supported)
* requirement goes up to zypper 1.0, SLES 11.0, openSUSE 11.1
* allows to use newer features (xml output)
* already done for zypper_repository
* use zypper instead of rpm to get old version information, based on work by @jasonmader
* don't use rpm, zypper can do everything itself
* run zypper only twice, first to determine current state, then to apply changes
New features:
* determine change by parsing zypper xmlout
* determine failure by checking return code
* allow simulataneous installation/removal of packages (using '-' and '+' prefix)
* allows to swap out alternatives without removing packages depending
on them
* implement checkmode, using zypper --dry-run
* implement diffmode
* implement 'name=* state=latest' and 'name=* state=latest type=patch'
* add force parameter, handed to zypper to allow downgrade or change of vendor/architecture
Fixes/Replaces:
* fixes#1627, give changed=False on installed patches
* fixes#2094, handling URLs for packages
* fixes#1461, fixes#546, allow state=latest name='*'
* fixes#299, changed=False on second install, actually this was fixed earlier, but it is explicitly tested now
* fixes#1824, add type=application
* fixes#1256, install rpm from path, this is done by passing URLs and paths directly to zypper
* fix typo in package_update_all
* minor fixes
* remove commented code block
* bump version added to 2.2
* deal with zypper return codes 103 and 106
* Add git_config module
This module can be used for reading and writing git configuration at all
three scopes (local, global and system). It supports --diff and --check
out of the box.
This module is based off of the following gist:
https://gist.github.com/mgedmin/b38c74e2d25cb4f47908
I tidied it up and added support for the following:
- Reading values on top of writing them
- Reading and writing values at any scope
The original author is credited in the documentation for the module.
* Respond to review feedback
- Improve documentation by adding choices for parameters, requirements
for module, and add missing description for scope parameter.
- Fail gracefully when git is not installed (followed example of puppet
module).
- Remove trailing whitespace.
* Change repo parameter to type 'path'
This ensures that all paths are automatically expanded appropriately.
* Set locale to C before running commands to ensure consistent error messages
This is important to ensure error message parsing occurs correctly.
* Adjust comment
As is done in other ansible modules, this adds the __main__ check
to the module so that the module code itself can be used as a library.
For instance, when testing the code.
