20:00:26 <jborean93> hey
20:01:26 <jborean93> give it a few more minutes before starting
20:05:02 <jborean93> looks like it is just us
20:05:06 <jborean93> nothing on the agenda so...
20:05:09 <jborean93> #topic open floor
20:05:14 <jborean93> anything to talk about?
20:05:44 <jhawkesworth> nothing windowsy for me this week.  Been wrestling with network devices
20:06:23 <nitzmahone> There was the question earlier about the auto-conditional reboot thing; my original intent there was to wrap that up in a module_util that could be shared for facts as well (eg `pending_reboot: true`)
20:06:58 <jhawkesworth> that's a nice idea
20:07:01 <nitzmahone> I don't mind having it there, so long as we're using the same bit of code to determine it anyplace we need to do a conditional reboot like that
20:08:22 <nitzmahone> For win_reboot, I still think the default should be "just reboot", but I'm not opposed to a new arg that would allow someone to opt into the "only if the pending_reboot flag is true" kind of behavior
20:08:51 <jborean93> definitely keep default as always reboot
20:08:54 <nitzmahone> yep
20:09:34 <nitzmahone> nothing else burning on my sid
20:09:36 <nitzmahone> *side
20:09:45 <jborean93> are you sure it was a typo?
20:09:52 <nitzmahone> :P
20:09:56 <jhawkesworth> :-)
20:10:30 <jhawkesworth> wondering how much use that option would be.
20:11:09 <jhawkesworth> in my playbooks I usually know / have to take control of when I need to reboot it.
20:11:44 <jhawkesworth> not opposed to having it as an option.
20:11:46 <nitzmahone> Yeah, the only thing I could see it being useful for is clearing the "I'm going to do something else that won't work if there's a pending reboot" case
20:12:20 <nitzmahone> In that case, having it as a fact usable in a conditional would probably suffice anyway
20:12:20 <jhawkesworth> might make grokking what has gone easier if it could actualy set 'skipped' status for the module results.  although I can't think of anywhere I've ever seen do that
20:12:53 <nitzmahone> Modules can self-skip- tis how `supports_check_mode: false` is implemented
20:13:06 <jhawkesworth> otherwise its 'hey that reboot took 1 second, how come this one took 90seconds'
20:13:39 <nitzmahone> I guess in the use case I'm thinking of, making it conditional with a fact should suffice (and is more flexible to boot)
20:14:05 <jhawkesworth> cool I must have known that once
20:14:45 <jhawkesworth> hmm RagingBuffalo no longer around to ask
20:14:46 <nitzmahone> Learn a new phone number, forget a useless bit of Ansible trivia- tis the way it goes ;)
20:15:13 <nitzmahone> That statement is somewhat dated, since I never learn new phone numbers anymore
20:15:42 <jhawkesworth> remind me, what's a phone again :-)
20:15:46 <jborean93> the fact seems like the more flexible option
20:15:51 <bcoca> i just use QR codes
20:16:21 * nitzmahone reminds self to send bcoca some nefarious QR codes ;)
20:18:26 <jhawkesworth> I guess using the fact is less intuitive than looking for a module to do it.  I guess an example in win_reboot docs would fix that for most though
20:18:58 <jborean93> docs are good, we could always add the option for it to gather the fact itself, gives people both options
20:20:28 <jhawkesworth> that's nice.
20:24:25 <jborean93> cool if there is nothing else, will close the meeting
20:24:47 <jhawkesworth> nothing from me.  cheers
20:26:10 <jborean93> awesome, have a good one all
