Could you describe this feature in a bit more detail.

Asking on behalf of https://github.com/moremoban/moban , as we could add any missing features needed if you want to join / adopt.

Hi @jayvdb

The functionality I'm referring to is that of the Ansible lineinefile module which allows you to change just one line in a config file using a regex match, leaving the rest intact.

I expect that I'll implement the feature when I find myself needing it.

Moban looks cool - it might have worked for my use case had I known about it sooner! However, I'm not proactively developing this much, as I'm really just using it for my own/clients' projects when I need it. Feel free to use any code from confp that you find useful though; such is the spirit of the MIT license!

Cheers

Ideally we make it so transitioning to moban is easy. I've scheduled this for the next sprint.

Not sure if there exists such a long sprint in the world. It was in the backlog for 1 year and half. Please have a look the implementation from moban-ansible package:
