Release targeting Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) and Debian buster releases running on Window Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2.

Breaking changes

  • Remove support for installing Python 2.7 using APT packages
  • Require Python 3 or newer for local development and running any of the Python scripts
  • Remove existing conflicting Terraform installations using the markosamuli.terraform role or asdf version manager
  • The setup script and Ansible playbooks will require Ansible 2.8 to include support for installing software via snap packages
  • I'm no longer testing the playbooks on Pengwin Linux environments
  • I'm no longer testing the playbooks on WSL1 environments
  • Running make setup will only install dependencies
  • Running make install will run the playbooks

These development tools are not required for setting up a system with my playbooks, but are required if making changes to the codebase to ensure consistent coding style.

  • Use pre-commit v2.7.0
  • Use flake8 v3.8.3 to lint Python code

Configuration

  • Use the correct nvm_shell_init variable instead of nvm_init_shell in the
    machine.msk.yaml config file

Development

Fixes in the development tools:
