Things for everyone to help test to get the 0.0.3 (integration branch) release out sooner:
-
Local facts – run the setup module, do you have any problems? Do all the facts look correct (ansible_*, etc). I particularly need everyone’s help here to make sure we test on lots of different operating system versions.
-
Templating – on the integration branch, templating now works very differently – does everything seem to work about how you would expect? How about missing files or template errors? (Note: I need to test more of this myself!)
-
YAML host file – this is all new, so does it do what you think it should? Try translating your INI format /etc/ansible/hosts to the YAML format in my previous email and using it to assign variables.
-
Anything else general usage related…
I have only one remaining feature marked for this release – making it possible to have templates access variables for OTHER nodes (aka exported resources type support if you are familiar with what puppet calls it, but ours will be much simpler) – so likely testing is the remaining priority for the next few days.
Thanks!

NOTE: after 0.03 goes out, I’ll probably whack the integration branch and rename it ‘devel’. ‘master’ will then become more or less bug fixes only.
Up until this point, basically master has been for development, and ‘integration’ was just a convent way to test pull requests together. Again, as I planned
last night, I think monthly releases (approximately) is how we’ll probably end up going. There is of course absolutely nothing preventing anyone from choosing
to use the development version over the master branch copy.
