Hi,

an hour after importing a new role [1] it still says:

Waiting to start..."  
in "View Role Import Details".

How long does it usually take to import a role?

thanks!

The task runner that handles imports has been restarted and the task queue cleared. If you click the ‘re-import’ button now, it should now start right away. We’re having some challenges with the task runner and planning to make some adjustments this evening.

Thanks, it now proceeds, but it doesn't know about Ubuntu 15.10 (platform)?

Yes, looks like it is stuck again.  
I fixed the README file but now:  
"Waiting to start..."  
looking forward to 10PM 😉

Task runner infrastructure upgraded. Hopefully we’ll see better performance.

Added Ubuntu Wily.

Does one has to use the codename? "15.10" does not seem to work still.

As taken from meta/main.yml created using `ansible-galaxy init` after Ubuntu Wily was added:

> #- name: Ubuntu
> 
> # versions:
> 
> # - all
> 
> # - lucid
> 
> # - maverick
> 
> # - natty
> 
> # - oneiric
> 
> # - precise
> 
> # - quantal
> 
> # - raring
> 
> # - saucy
> 
> # - trusty
> 
> # - utopic
> 
> # - vivid
> 
> # - wily

Ubuntu releases are by name rather than version, so you’ll want to use ‘wily’.

I’m still experiencing this issue, any idea when is going to be resolved.

The task runner was restarted and imports are working again.
