RedHat-based OSes have a version of update-alternatives which comes from
the chkconfig package and does not support the --query parameter. Work
around that.
All the actions by the mysql_replication plugin can be done by connecting to the NULL database. There is no need to connect to the 'mysql' db, since there are permissions problems when connecting to remote hosts, e.g. when you want to query "SHOW MASTER STATUS" on a remote host.
The definition was leaking into ansible.module_utils.basic and causing
type checking to fail when running module as script. Not entirely clear
why this should be the case.
module.exit_json() does not like when the "changed" variable contains a
match object:
TypeError: <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x81e2ae58> is not JSON serializable
Running the module with the argument "upgrade=yes" invokes an upgrade of
all installed packages.
While here clean up some comments.
Functionality requested by @qbit.
Also moves the calculation of the destination file name until after
the slurp of the file contents, since the source as returned by slurp
may now be different, so we want to use that expanded path locally.
Fixes#8942
standards compliant return codes but return a verbose error message via
stdout. Limit the times when we invoke the heuristic to attempt to work
around this.
The example was showing how to use the `files` option to pass in a local file as an authorized public key for root. While this works, it's a bit sloppy, given that there's a specific option, `key_name` which will use one of your public keys on your rackspace account and add it as an authorized key for root. In our case, one of our admins didn't notice the `key_name` option because they scrolled straight to the example and saw the `files` strategy.
I propose that the example still shows `files`, but not using a root public key as an example, and instead also demonstrate the `key_name` option so that it's clear from the example how to get the initial root public key deployed.
