Ansible
=======
2012-03-08 19:59:12 +01:00
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and
multinode orchestration framework.

Design Principles
=================
2012-02-23 20:17:24 +01:00
2012-02-28 03:26:23 +01:00
* Dead simple setup
* Super fast & parallel by default
* No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
* No additional software required on client boxes
* Modules can be written in ANY language
* Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
* Be usable as non-root
2012-03-08 19:59:12 +01:00
* The easiest config management system to use, ever.

Get Involved
2012-02-23 20:17:24 +01:00
============
* [ansible-project mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/ansible-project)
* irc.freenode.net: #ansible

Branch Info
===========
2012-07-05 00:06:38 +02:00
* Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
* The master branch corresponds to release 0.5 "Amsterdam".
* The devel branch corresponds to release 0.6 "Cabo".
* All feature work happens on the development branch.
* Major bug fixes will be made to the master branch, but not minor ones.
2012-04-26 03:23:50 +02:00
* See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.

Patch Instructions
==================
Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.
* Required Process:
* Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
* Fixes for bugs may be submitted to "ansible/master"
2012-03-31 17:38:06 +02:00
* Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
* Bonus points:
* Joining the mailing list
* Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
2012-03-31 17:38:06 +02:00
* Using squash merges
* Updating the "rst/*" files in the docs project and "docs/" manpage content
* Adding more unit tests
* Avoid:
* Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
* Sending feature pull requests to the 'master' branch instead of the devel branch
2012-03-31 17:38:06 +02:00
* Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
