Hi there,

I believe I did install ansible with 'sudo make install' at some point  
but now I would like to run it from checkout again. Is there a way to  
"make uninstall", or should I just run 'sudo make install' each time a  
pull or make changes to my working copy?

Thanks,  
Eduardo

You may be interested in just running from checkout.

# source ./hacking/env-setup

There is no make uninstall -- the main side effect is it wouldn't  
delete any plugins or modules we have removed, though that really  
doesn't happen, so it shouldn't be a problem if you want to keep with  
the make install.

Thanks, it was that easy.

> # source ./hacking/env-setup

Now it is working from checkout again
