Instead of waiting for up to a certain number of retries we set a high
timeout and only re-check every five seconds. Certain services can
take a minute or more to start and we want to avoid waisting resources
by polling too often.
@mpeters reported that we're not checking that the named service is
actually there after a reload. And that sometimes monit doesn't actually
return anything at all after a reload.
If there are already ongoing actions for a process managed by monit, the
module would exit unsuccessfully. It could also give off false positives
because it did not determine whether the service was started/stopped
when it was in a pending state. Which might be turning the service off,
but the action was to start it.
For example "Running - pending stop" would be regarded as the service
running and "state=enabled" would do nothing.
This will make Ansible wait for the state to finalize, or a timeout decided
by the new `max_retries` option, before it decides what to do.
This fixes issue #244.
The patch module has a few missing items, and inconsistencies, in its
documentation. A few of which are addressed here.
Within Ansible documentation, the choices for boolean values are
commonly 'yes', and 'no'. We standardise the options on that.
'remote_src' documentation uses 'False' and 'True' for its documentation,
so these have been updated in both the choices and default.
'src' documentation refers to 'remote_src', so is updated to use
the 'no' choice.
'backup' did not describe its options and default at all, so we add
them.
'binary' default used 'False', but specified the type as 'bool' which is
implicitly documented as 'yes'/'no', so we make that 'no' as well.
This patch is adding a new module which allows to add and remove YUM
repository definitions. The module implements all repository options
as described in the `yum.conf` manual page.
If a bucket is being created in us-east-1, the module passed
'us-east-1' to boto's s3.create_bucket method rather than
Location.DEFAULT (an empty string). This caused boto to generate
invalid XML which AWS was unable to interpret.
