Reduce the total number of commands run to configure interfaces. If
a service reload/restart is required, only execute it once instead
of once per device. When nm is managing a device, the explicit up
is not required.
Properly detects NetworkManager on guest as well as devices controlled
by NetworkManager. Provides configuration option to enable/disbale
NetworkManager control on devices.
While VirtualBox has commented that they do not support UNC remote
paths (but do for long paths) it seems that remote paths can work.
If user provides UNC path, allow it to be used as-is.
Fixes#7011
Prevent sending empty data strings to defined blocks handling
stderr and stdout output. These can occur when the garbage
marker is identified and collected data pruned, but no remaining
data is left to send.
Fixes#8259
With the introduction of `pip_args` option, you can easily extend the
`:pip` installation mode behaviour. But some interesting/advanced usages
are still not possible because of the auto-generated parts ("ansible"
package, version selection, and the `--upgrade` flag).
By adding this "pip_args_only" install mode, it will be for instance
possible to:
- install unofficial releases, like release candidates published at
https://releases.ansible.com/
- install more pip packages (e.g. via a `requirements.txt` file), with
hash validation, etc.
Note that there is no config validation that requires `pip_args` option
to be defined when the :pip_args_only mode is selected. This would be
more elegant, and user friendly to raise a configuration error, but this
can wait. At least, running with an empty `pip_args` won't lead to any
command crash, since the rather dummy "pip install" shows an helper
notice and terminates with a zero (0) exit code.
This change is thought as a complement to the changes originally
proposed in pull request GH-8170.
With this new option, it is now possible to pass additional arguments to
pip command when the `install_mode` is "pip".

This updates the behavior of the provision action to never run a provisioner
that is specified to "never" run unless it has been explicitly requested. Also
adds test coverage to the provision action.
This allows custom paths that include special characters like `~`
to be properly expanded instead of resulting in joined root path
with special characters included.
