[x] Discuss changes to the module/plugin deprecation documentation

Somewhat related to https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/71459. That issue mainly brought to light the fact that the documentation should be updated since ANSIBLE_METADATA is no longer a thing. What should the recommended deprecation process be fore modules/plugins in the new collections-based world?

felixfontein commented 4 years ago

@samdoran deprecation of plugins/modules is done by deprecating them both in the module docs and in meta/runtime.yml. For modules, this is already validated by validate-modules.

[ ] ansible/ansible#71734 Extend validate-modules to also validate plugins. Questions to discuss for standardizing plugin schemas:
- [x] what's with name: next to description: in option descriptions? (see default_callback docs_fragment for extensive usage) (ansible/ansible#71792)
- [x] which plugin types must have / can have / cannot have examples? (ansible/ansible#71793)
- [x] author: required with same conditions as for modules, or optional, or other conditions? (ansible/ansible#71794)
- [x] <plugin_type>: <name> vs. plugin_type: <plugin_type> and name: <name> (ansible/ansible#71795)
- [x] option type: should long forms boolean, string, integer etc. be allowed? (ansible/ansible#71796)
- [x] return value type: required or not for plugins? (ansible/ansible#71797)
- [x] for callback plugins, type vs. callback_type (ansible/ansible#71798)

[x] ansible/ansible#71928 add validation for type: dict for plugin options

felixfontein commented 3 years ago

[x] should ansible -version etc. also show the Ansible version? (For example, antsibull-build could add a Python module to the pypi package called ansible_collections/ansible_version.py, which if found would provide the Ansible version)
