* Implement a framework for having common code for release scripts
* Release scripts will go through hacking/build-ansible. build-ansible is
a pluggable script which will set a directory that has common code for
non-enduser scripts. It will then invoke the plugin which implements
that subcommand. Uses straight.plugin for loading each sub-command.
* We're going to add tools which are needed to test ansible (the changelog
generation, for instance) so we need to include the pieces relevant to
that in the tarball.
* Add straight.plugin to the sanity test requirements for the same
reason
* Skip compile test just for build-ansible plugins which won't be run as
part of sanity tests.
* win_exec: refactor PS exec runner
* more changes for PSCore compatibility
* made some changes based on the recent review
* split up module exec scripts for smaller payload
* removed C# module support to focus on just error msg improvement
* cleaned up c# test classifier code
* Convert README from Markdown to ReStructured Text and use as longdesc
Discussion in #13758 led to deciding to switch README to rst and having
setup.py consume it as the long_description.
* Fix long string in setup.py for pep8 compliance
* Open README.rst as read-only
* Update usages of root README.md to README.rst
Unsure about the file ./packaging/debian/docs as it (only) contains the
text README.md. I believe it's referencing ./packaging/debian/README.md
but maybe someone who knows debian packaging could review it?
* Pick up fixes that had been merged into README.md after the initial conversion to rst
* fixes#27374
* recursively include top 2 levels of .psm1's under module_utils/powershell
* recursively include top 2 levels of .ps1's under modules/windows (for future restructuring)
* Maintain symlinks in setup.py sdist, build, and install commands
Symlinks are meaningful for ansible modules. They differentiate between
aliases and deprecated modules. They're also useful for saving space
and where downstream patches should be applied to the bin scripts.
Fixes#27105
* Add a fallback for install and build to try to cache symlinks on their own
Needed when someone tries to invoke setup.py build or setup.py install
directly from the source checkout without an intermediate sdist.
Move to using a requirements.txt to install the python packages.
This makes it easy to keep the documentation and actual package
dependencies in sync.
Fixes#18453
Spec file installs default example hosts files
Spec file marks the contents of /etc/ansible as %config(noreplace)
