Totally fine with that. Yeah FWIW, something like "riak-common" would be good for Galaxy, I think, or even maybe "basho-common", but I'd avoid naming a role just "common" and making a miscellaneous bucket. Just because people might not be clear that username.common was really username-appcommon.
But I think we're on the same page. Sidenote: I want a future upgrade of Galaxy to auto-rename any role starting with "ansible-" or "ansible_" as it's breaking sorting. But we don't really have a ton of standards. Another thing I'm thinking is if a role contains a module it might be nice to show that on the module page, so you'd know what you might be getting into maintaining :) On Tue, Feb 11, 2014 at 3:41 PM, Paul Durivage <[email protected]>wrote: > I'd argue that having a common role would be the approach to take, with > follow-on roles having a dependency on the common role.
