Toshio Kuratomi b27c424fa1 Fixes to the documentation build (#15356)
* Could only have one alias before.  Subsequent aliases overrode the
  previous ones.  Now multiple aliases work.
* Fix BLACKLISTED_MODULES.   Previously, modules were listed in the
  generated documentation despite being blacklisted
* Deprecated modules form extras were showing the (E) tag and not the
  (D) tag. Reversed that now (Probably not necessary to also show the
  E tag).
* Sort the deprecated modules alphabetically in the Category docs as
  well as the list of all modules
* Optimization: Previously rendered the modules to rst twice once in all
  group and once in individual categories.  Fixed to only render them
  once.
* Add fireball to blacklist and remove async_status (as people need to
  use that).

'Hacking' directory tools

Env-setup

The 'env-setup' script modifies your environment to allow you to run ansible from a git checkout using python 2.6+. (You may not use python 3 at this time).

First, set up your environment to run from the checkout:

$ source ./hacking/env-setup

You will need some basic prerequisites installed. If you do not already have them and do not wish to install them from your operating system package manager, you can install them from pip

$ easy_install pip               # if pip is not already available
$ pip install pyyaml jinja2 nose passlib pycrypto

From there, follow ansible instructions on docs.ansible.com as normal.

Test-module

'test-module' is a simple program that allows module developers (or testers) to run a module outside of the ansible program, locally, on the current machine.

Example:

$ ./hacking/test-module -m lib/ansible/modules/core/commands/shell -a "echo hi"

This is a good way to insert a breakpoint into a module, for instance.

For more complex arguments such as the following yaml:

parent:
  child:
    - item: first
      val: foo
    - item: second
      val: boo

Use:

$ ./hacking/test-module -m module \
    -a "{"parent": {"child": [{"item": "first", "val": "foo"}, {"item": "second", "val": "bar"}]}}"

Module-formatter

The module formatter is a script used to generate manpages and online module documentation. This is used by the system makefiles and rarely needs to be run directly.

Authors

'authors' is a simple script that generates a list of everyone who has contributed code to the ansible repository.
