Hi!

Is there any way (perhaps magic value in the galaxy\_info dict in meta/main.yml) to tell galaxy where an issue tracker for a role is if that issue tracker is not in github? I’m looking at starting to publish roles up to galaxy - but the larger project this work is a part of uses a different issue tracker and I’d love to point people there rather than to a github tracker that will be ignored … If not, is there anyway I can add such a feature?

Monty

Hi Monty, yes there is (but is not documented apparently, nor is it in the default template generated by “ansible-galaxy init”). You can set the field issue\_tracker\_url in the meta/main.yml under the galaxy\_info section. For example:

galaxy\_info:  
author: Me  
description: My new role  
issue\_tracker\_url: [https://notgithub.com/path/to/tracker](https://notgithub.com/path/to/tracker)

Let us know if that doesn’t work for you.

Thanks!

Woohoo! Thanks - super helpful. If you don’t beat me to it, I’ll put up a PR to add it to the template/docs.
