The changed flag returned by ipahostgroup calls have not always been correct.
The use of the module with IPA version 4.6 on RHEL-7 resulted in encoding
errors. All this has been fixed.
Addtitionally new test cases have been added to make sure that the issues
are solved.
There is a new hostgroup management module placed in the plugins folder:
plugins/modules/ipahostgroup.py
The hostgroup module allows to add, remove and disable hosts.
The hostgroup module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream
ipa_hostgroup module, but addtionally offers to ensure member presence and
absence.
Here is the documentation for the module:
README-hostgroup.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hostgroup-is-absent.yml
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hostgroup-is-present.yml
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hosts-and-hostgroups-are-absent-in-hostgroup.yml
playbooks/hostgroup/ensure-hosts-and-hostgroups-are-present-in-hostgroup.yml
