Description of problem: ansible should own /usr/share/ansible /usr/share/ansible/roles /usr/share/ansible/inventory and maybe oher directories that ansible accepts for extension Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ansible-2.7.9-1.fc28 linux-system-roles and standard-test-roles add content to the mentioned directories to enhance Ansible. To ensure the directories are properly owned ansible should IMHO own them.
My RHEL package (when Ansible was still in RHEL 7 Extras) used to have this in %files: %dir /usr/share/ansible %dir /usr/share/ansible/roles %dir /usr/share/ansible/plugins
As do the Ansible Engine builds (I looked at ansible-2.7.9-1.el7ae)
PR applied. Do you need it now? Or can we wait for the next release? Or would you like rawhide now?
Hold on.... what's the rationale for owning those directories? The Ansible Engine 2.8.0 build was going to drop those directories from the spec file as we don't place any files in there and to be more inline with the Fedora package. If they're going to be added to the Fedora package, I should probably re-add them to the engine package as well. It would be good if we had a common understanding of the criteria for adding the directories, though. Perhaps something like "every /usr/share/ansible directory listed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/config/base.yml " ?
Toshio, the current need comes from the linux-system-roles package that puts content there. For RHEL there is rhel-system-roles with the same problem. To ensure proper directory ownership the ansible package should own the directories. Kevin, thank you! The next release is fine with me. I do not think it rewards a separate update.
Okay, but what I'm saying is that we need to coordinate this change otherwise linux-system-roles won't work with the packages provided by Ansible Engine 2.8. Can we agree on what criteria to use to decide what directories need to be owned by the packages?
Created attachment 1555378 [details] Potential change to own all defaults system paths in ansible config Okay, this would implement owning all of the system paths that ansible lists in its base config.
Yes, it makes sense to add all directories to the spec where other RPMs could drop files/directories. Unfortunately your patch seems to be wrong: It creates everything below %{_datadir}/ansible/plugins/ but the roles directory needs to be created in %{_datadir}/ansible/ https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/config/base.yml#L989 https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/config/base.yml#L380 Also it would be nice to sort the plugin type entries to make it easier to check if a certain entry is in there.
<nod> Yeah, and it looks like the same fix is needed for collections as well. I'm not sure what the best sort order is. The current order matches what's in the base.yml file which makes a simple grep work well but doesn't work so well when upstream changes the order in their file.
