Overview

This is a collection of Ansible-compatible binary modules, used by Whizz on those places there are no Python interpreter (or you just want to be faster).

Requirements (building)

Your system needs to have these installed:

• GNU Make
• GCC
• GCCGO
• File (libmagic)

Structure

As of today, binary modules aren't strongest part of Ansible ecosystem. Whizz is using them with the following structure:

  bin
  ╰─ <system>
     ╰─ <cpu>
        ╰─ <namespace>
	       ╰─ <module>

For example, a module packaging.os.apt for x86_64 Linux will appear following:

  bin/linux/x86_64/packaging/os/apt

NOTE: Binary modules do not have .py file extension.

Building

All modules are built with GCCGO instead, as it is needed for cross-compilation, so the code has to be kept GCC compliant.

python3 build.py

This should either compile everything into ./build directory or ask you to install missing bits.
