Core Modules
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
These are modules that the core ansible team maintains and will always ship with ansible itself.
|
||||
They will also receive slightly higher priority for all requests than those in the "extras" repos.
|
||||
|
||||
The source of these modules is hosted on GitHub in the `ansible <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/modules>`_ repo.
|
||||
|
||||
If you believe you have found a bug in a core module and are already running the latest stable or development version of Ansible, first look in the `issue tracker at github.com/ansible/ansible <http://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues>`_ to see if a bug has already been filed. If not, we would be grateful if you would file one.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you have a question rather than a bug report, inquiries are welcome on the `ansible-project google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project>`_ or on Ansible's "#ansible" channel, located on irc.freenode.net. Development oriented topics should instead use the similar `ansible-devel google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation updates for these modules can also be edited directly in the module itself and by submitting a pull request to the module source code, just look for the "DOCUMENTATION" block in the source tree.

Extras Modules
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
These modules are currently shipped with Ansible, but might be shipped separately in the future. They are also mostly maintained by the community.
|
||||
Non-core modules are still fully usable, but may receive slightly lower response rates for issues and pull requests.
|
||||
|
||||
Popular "extras" modules may be promoted to core modules over time.
|
||||
|
||||
The source for these modules is hosted on GitHub in the `ansible <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/modules>`_ repo.
|
||||
|
||||
If you believe you have found a bug in an extras module and are already running the latest stable or development version of Ansible,

Development oriented topics should instead use the similar `ansible-devel google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel>`_.
|
||||
|
||||

Module Support
|

--------------

|

.. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1
|
||||
|
||||
Ansible has many modules, but not all of them are maintained by the core project commiters. Each module should have associated metadata that indicates which of the following categories they fall into. This should be visible in each module's documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation updates for each module can also be edited directly in the module and by submitting a pull request to the module source code; just look for the "DOCUMENTATION" block in the source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
If you believe you have found a bug in a module and are already running the latest stable or development version of Ansible, first look in the `issue tracker at github.com/ansible/ansible <http://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues>`_ to see if a bug has already been filed. If not, we would be grateful if you would file one.
|
||||
|
||||
Should you have a question rather than a bug report, inquiries are welcome on the `ansible-project google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project>`_ or on Ansible's "#ansible" channel, located on irc.freenode.net.
|
||||
|
||||
For development-oriented topics, use the `ansible-devel google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-devel>`_ or Ansible's "#ansible" and "#ansible-devel" channels, located on irc.freenode.net. You should also read :doc:`community`, :doc:`dev_guide/developing_test_pr` and :doc:`dev_guide/developing_modules`.
|
||||
|
||||
The modules are hosted on GitHub in the in a subdirectory of the `ansible <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/lib/ansible/modules>`_ repo.
