Hi,

I’ve written a role that install / configure the latest hhvm on ubuntu trusty; [https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/1496](https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/1496)  
The make (hhvm) runs too long so i decided to put the configuration task in a separate task, and after dependency install & git clone & cmake asks the user to run make && make install and re-run the role.

I’m not satisfied with this solution, and i’ll be glad if someone can suggest me a better idea 🙂

Seems like you should package the latest hhvm and put it in a PPA.

Ansible is not always the correct hammer.
