Hello every body !
I have opened an issue / featrure request on Ansible Github about the “plugins” usage and distribution : https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/10657
It may be interesting to have a discussion here about it.
So the main points of the PR are :
- In source repository, there is a “plugins” directory that is not shipped in the PIP package (I did not checked in the OS distro packages)
- There is documentation on docs.ansible.com about
Lookup_plugins, callback_plugins ...
but not about the “Inventory” which are presents into the “plugins” dir of https://github.com/ansible/ansible/
So, maybe it could be interesting to extract this directory to its own repo “ansible-plugins” and refer it via submodules like for the “ansible-modules-core” and “ansible-module-extra”.
What do you think ?
