[ansible-devel] Ansible 2.5.0 Release Candidate 2 is available

[mattdavi]

Hi all- we're happy to announce that Release Candidate 2 of Ansible 2.5.0 
is now available! 


How do you get it?
--

All Ansible pre-releases in the 2.5 series will be published to PyPI. This 
is probably the easiest way for most users to install:

$ pip install ansible==2.5.0rc2 --user


The tar.gz of the release can be found here:

http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-2.5.0rc2.tar.gz
SHA256: 609066a807778228b4c3cb1b5f121c7d29d3abbf060079de65e434a9896f3efd

You can also test against the git repository as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
$ cd ansible
$ git checkout v2.5.0rc2


You can then source our testing script:

$ . hacking/env-setup

or you can build your own .tar.gz (output will be 
dist/ansible-2.5.0rc2.tar.gz):

$ make sdist


Weekly pre-release builds are planned through release; all will be 
available via PyPI, releases.ansible.com, and GitHub.


Planned Release Schedule
--
Release Candidate 3 (if necessary): March 15, 2018
(further release candidates as necessary)
Final Release: mid-March, 2018 (target March 15, 2018, assuming no RC3)


Finally, we've published a draft porting guide at 
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.5.html 
to help migrate your content to 2.5. If you discover any errors, or if you 
see any regressions from playbooks which work on 2.4.x and prior, please 
open a Github issue, and be sure to mention you're testing against 2.5.0rc2.


Thanks!

Re: [ansible-devel] Content from multiple hosts to one file

[Ed C]

I think what you're after is the "magic" groups and hostvars variables:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_variables.html#magic-variables-and-how-to-access-information-about-other-hosts

These let you access the information about what hosts are in a group and
the facts about those hosts. Combining these with a loop using the template
module should give you what you want.

For example, lets assume you wanted to produce a list of the webservers in
your loadbalancer configuration. You could do something like


- hosts: loadbalancer
tasks:
- template:
src: mytemplate.j2
dest: list-of-hosts

Then the template file would look something like:

{% for host in groups['webservers'] %}
{{ hostvars[host]['ansible_hostname'] }}
{% endfor %}


What this is doing is looping over all the hosts in the webservers group,
then pulling out the ansible_hostname fact for each host. You can pull out
whatever fact it is you want from the other hosts.

Hope that helps
Ed

[ansible-devel] [Urgent help] Ansible for fetching and comparing windows OS configuration, performance stats

[Akash Agarwal]

Hi All,

Is there a way to use Ansible to fetch Windows OS specific configuration 
using Ansible on demand ?
Is there a way to fetch OS updates, Open Ports, Windows Running Services 
list?
Is there a way to monitor Windows Performance Counters for a duration of 
time ?

Thanks,
Akash

You need to check the line Build-Depends: in file packaging/debian/control and 
install the requirement listed there.

first thanks for your answer and sorry again for the next stupid question.

Ok I installed this stuff here:

*sudo apt-get install -y asciidoc libxslt1-dev docbook-xsl xsltproc 
libxml2-utils devscripts*

Now *make deb* fails here:

I am on Linux Mint 18.1 Serena/ Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.9 .

Any help setting up the basic workflow is appreciated. And again sorry for 
stupid questions. Just kick me out of the mailinglist if you want.

[ansible-devel] new developer: make deb

[Keltik85]

Hi,

I am new to the Ansible github project. Hope this is not a stupid 
question...

I want to get accustomed to the basic development workflow on my local 
machine.

I checked out the github repository and executed make deb: 

*1. git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git*

*2. cd ansible/*

I edited some portion of the code and now I want to use the new code base:

*3. make deb*

*The output of make is as follows:*

*Cleaning up distutils stuff*
*rm -rf build*
*rm -rf dist*
*rm -rf lib/ansible.egg-info/*
