Scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=11375729 Seems reasonable to me. We should upstream this also though... This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. So I looked and I'm not familiar enough with python and the upstream project to really have a clue. To me even if this doesn't get upstreamed its still a downstream decision to follow certain filesystem rules/expectations by providing a default config. > I'm suggesting that ansible be configured by default to place these types of files in /var/lib/ansible instead. /usr/share is usually the correct place for this kind of stuff and /usr/share/ansible/roles (now)[0] exists. /var/lib is for "variable state information", according to the FHS[1]. If you'd like to change the default roles search path, you can configure[2] this on your own system. [0]: I'm not sure if it did when you initially created the bug. [1]: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch05s08.html [2]: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#default-roles-path Yeah, I'm fine with wherever. When I first filed the bug it seemed really odd to me that there was an /etc/ansible/roles directory and that's where ansible-galaxy installed roles. I'm no FHS expert but it seemed like /var/lib was better than /usr/share mostly because I expected /usr/share content to be rpm owned/managed and /var/lib I don't. |
Created attachment 1081072 [details] Move roles to /var/lib/ansible/roles It seems like placing galaxy installed roles in /etc/ansible/roles is probably? against some packaging guidelines. I'm suggesting that ansible be configured by default to place these types of files in /var/lib/ansible instead. Thoughts?
