The original problem is: apt_repository.py connect to launchpad on
every playbook run. In this patch apt_repository.py checks if required
repository already exists or not. If no - paa will be added, if yes -
just skip actions.
* Import url(lib|parse|lib2) if needed by the module rather than relying
on module_utils.urls to do so.
* Remove stdlib modules from requirements
* Use the if __name__ conditional for invoking main()
* Only install yum-utils if needed (b/c we're going to use repoquery)
* Add a warning message explaining that why slower repoquery was used
rather than yum API.
commit logs it looks like we weren't previously doing that because of
commit 14479e6adc
The message there is that Yum API prints an error message if the
rhn-plugin is in use and no rhn-certificate is available. So instead of
using repoquery in preference always here we use repoquery in preference
if the rhn-plugin is enabled.
- Replaced some unsafe practice with default parameters. However looking at the code this does not seem to matter much as the calling functions always seem to supply these parameters anyway.
When subscribing a system with an activationkey, it seems (sometimes?)
required to pass the "--org <number>" parameter to subscription-manager.
Activation Keys can be created through the Red Hat Customer Portal, and
a subscription can be attached to those. This makes is easy to register
systems without passing username/passwords around.
The organisation ID can be retrieved by executing the following command
on a registered system (*not* the account number):
# subscription-manager identity

Prior to this commit, Ansible would pass '--activationkeys <value>' as a
literal string, which the remote server would interpret as a single
argument to subscription-manager.
This led to the following failure message when using an activation key:
subscription-manager: error: no such option: --activationkey "mykey"
Update the arguments so that the remote server will properly interpret
them as two separate values.
The ordering of disabling/enabling yum repositories matters, and
the yum module was mixing and matching the order. Specifically,
when yum-utils isn't installed, the codepath which uses the yum
python module was incorrectly ordering enabling and disabling.
The preferred order is to disable repositories and then enable them
to prevent clobbering. This was previously discussed in
ansible/ansible#5255 and incompletely addressed in 0cca4a3.
