Running ansible --version now outputs git information when the repo lives in .git in the root of the ansible source (coping with the case where the git info is elsewhere is left as an exercise). This uses gitpython where installed, otherwise it interrogates the files in the .git directory to get the same information. The gitpython path could be removed, but then people might ask 'why did you do it like this when gitpython exists'
Ansible
Ansible is a radically simple configuration-management, deployment, task-execution, and multinode orchestration framework.
Read the documentation 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
- ansible-project mailing list
- irc.freenode.net: #ansible
Branch Info
- Releases are named after Van Halen songs.
- The devel branch corresponds to release 0.7, "Panama".
- Various release-X.Y branches exist for previous releases
- All feature work happens on the development branch.
- Major bug fixes will be made to the last release branch only
- 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 also be submitted to "ansible/release-X.Y" for the last release
- Make sure "make tests" passes before submitting any requests.
- Bonus points:
- Joining the mailing list
- Fixing bugs instead of sending bug reports.
- 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 'release' branch instead of the devel branch
- Sending pull requests to mpdehaan's personal ansible fork.
