A COPR for Ansible roles

Packaging Ansible roles

Since Fedora's Server SIG has decided to promote using Ansible, I've decided to package a number of roles I find interesting. Packaging solves two problems in my opinion:

  1. This allows users to get roles and playbooks without having to learn how to get them from Ansible Galaxy
  2. It allows us to patch the roles to work properly on Fedora systems

I've started submitting rpms to Fedora but I thought having a copr in the meantime that includes all my ansible rpms would make it easier for people to install and test them.

Activating the COPR on a Fedora system:

You can run the command "dnf copr enable eseyman/ansible" on a F42 or rawhide system. From there, you'll be able to "dnf search" or "dnf install" any of the packages in the copr. On that system, you'll be able to run a playbook that uses the role on any host you can ssh to.
