- force `--connection=ssh` (any other modes like paramiko or smart are not
supported)
- give the highest priority to `raw_arguments` for sake of simplicity (in
usage, in code and in documentation)
- fix position of the `--limit` argument (the generated inventory could be
shadowed by `raw_arguments`, while ansible.limit was able to override
`raw_arguments`
ref #3396
When `--connection` argument is not specified, Ansible will use the
'smart' mode, which can either use `ssh` or `paramiko` transports,
depending of the version of OpenSSH available. If OpenSSH version is new
enough to support ControlPersist technology, `ssh` will be used.
See also http://docs.ansible.com/intro_configuration.html#transport.
In order to support some advanced features of Vagrant (e.g. multiple ssh
private key identities or ssh forwarding), the Ansible provisioner
already must force `ssh` connection mode.
Having to deal with the possible fallback to `paramiko` increase the
burden of special cases that Ansible provisioner must handle, without
any added value, as Vagrant is based on OpenSSH and its users are
usually using modern operating systems.
With this change, the Ansible provisioner will officially only support
`ssh`. It will still be possible to switch to another connection mode
via `raw_arguments`, but it will breach the "contract", and no
(community) support can be expected in such use case.
ref #3900, #3396
For FreeBSD guests, Virtualbox can sometimes report the private network
interface IP address as "0.0.0.0". This will cause an invalid NFS
exports file to be generated for FreeBSD and OS X hosts.
Fixed by not allowing Virtualbox to report a guest IP address of
"0.0.0.0".
With this change, any caller of machine.ssh_info is assured that best
efforts will be done to fix possible wrong permissions on the private
key files.
Fix#4652
When using pty=true, removing files using sudo may request confirmation,
which will hang the connection.
Similarly, sometimes assumptions about file existence may be wrong and
in those cases it seems better to continue on as long as the file does
not exist, so -f makes sense there, too.
