This task is being marked as changed every time the playbook is run:

- name: Setting Acls  
acl: name=/mnt/www entity=www-data  
etype=group permissions=rwx default=yes state=present  
notify: Sync webroot

I have tried removing the notify to see if this wasn’t triggering anything else but that doesn’t make any difference.

Nothing gets changed beside from this one. What could be happening?

I’m running Ansible 1.5

it is probably not detecting changes correctly, I take a look at this after work.

sorry it took so long to look at this, but confirming it.

its a bug, the comparison is not correctly detecting ‘default’ cases.
