Dag Wieërs b3b22c41e9 Get rid of mktemp dependency to support AIX
The function call has been renamed to better reflect what it does, and we
reduced the number of calls from two to one in case the remote user is not
root.

This patch also fixes a string concatenation in _copy_module() that
should use os.path.join() instead.

This closes #436

Ansible

Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.

Read all about at it at (http://ansible.github.com)

Design Principles

  • Dead simple setup
  • Super fast & parallel by default
  • No server or client daemons; use existing SSHd
  • No additional software required on client boxes
  • Modules can be written in ANY language
  • Awesome API for creating very powerful distributed scripts
  • Be usable as non-root
  • The easiest config management system to use, ever.

Get Involved

Branch Info

  • The master branch corresponds to release 0.3 "Baluchitherium".
  • Bug fixes WILL be periodically made to the master branch.
  • The devel branch corresponds to release 0.4 "Unchained".
  • Note: sudo support works much better in 0.4/devel, consider trying it.
  • See CHANGELOG.md for release notes to track each release.

Patch Instructions

Contributions to the core and modules are greatly welcome.

  • Required Process:
    • Submit github pull requests to the "ansible/devel" branch for features
    • Fixes for bugs may be submitted to "ansible/master"
    • Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
  • Bonus points:
    • Joining the mailing list
    • Using squash merges
    • Updating the "rst/*" files in the docs project and "docs/" manpage content
    • Adding more unit tests
  • Avoid:
    • Sending patches to the mailing list directly.
    • Sending feature pull requests to the 'master' branch instead of the devel branch
    • Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
