in modules (the files in ${WRKSRC}/library), as they're treated as
data and not scripts - the right thing to do is to set
"ansible_python_interpreter" in the configuration.
Also, install example files in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/ansible.
- install manpages
- replace "etc" with PKG_SYSCONFDIR in a number of locations
- replace "usr/share" with @PREFIX@/share in some places
- do some cleanup so things install with PKG_DEVELOPER set.
Ansible is a radically simple model-driven configuration management,
multi-node deployment, and remote task execution system. Ansible works
over SSH and does not require any software or daemons to be installed
on remote nodes. Extension modules can be written in any language and
are transferred to managed machines automatically.
