Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network. (#74775)
* Due to the takeover of freenode we're moving to a different irc network.

* Our channels updated to point at the same channel name on libera.chat
* Some links went to webchat.freenode.net.  At this time, libera.chat
  doesn't point you to an official webchat client so I changed these to
  https://libera.chat. (kiwi irc does work with libera.chat so that
  could be another option).
* In general, I used the name irc.libera.net for link names and
  https://libera.chat for link targets.  This is because the irc service
  is hosted on irc.libera.chat but the project web server is hosted on
  libera.chat.  (This appears to also be true for freenode but we were
  using http://irc.freenode.net which doesn't seem to work.  Oops).
* Removed http://irc.freenode.net from the linkcheck exceptions.
  linkcheck was actually correct to flag that as invalid (should have
  been http://frenode.net instead).

* Looks like hte important people in #yaml are now in libera.chat

* Link to where contributors should get help

Add a link target and then link to where contributors should get support
for developing groups of modules.

* Update docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_modules_in_groups.rst

'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 -r requirements.txt

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

test-module.py

'test-module.py' 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.py -m lib/ansible/modules/commands/command.py -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.py -m module \
    -a '{"parent": {"child": [{"item": "first", "val": "foo"}, {"item": "second", "val": "bar"}]}}'

return_skeleton_generator.py

return_skeleton_generator.py helps in generating the RETURNS section of a module. It takes JSON output of a module provided either as a file argument or via stdin.

fix_test_syntax.py

A script to assist in the conversion for tests using filter syntax to proper jinja test syntax. This script has been used to convert all of the Ansible integration tests to the correct format for the 2.5 release. There are a few limitations documented, and all changes made by this script should be evaluated for correctness before executing the modified playbooks.
