Hi, I'm trying to write generic roles for particular applications and keep hitting across the same problem:
I want to set role default based on the operating system or other facts, like include_vars, but this doesn't appear to be supported. The only option I see practically available for template is to use the template logic to handle defaults, but that, while flexible, is not as elegant as being able to set by-fact defaults. The code I'm working at present on is https://github.com/WillsherPartners/ansible-sshd , where there is a large set of defaults and a template. sshd_subsystem_sftp varies depending on OS, but I still want to give the person using the role to option to override the value if they see fit. Are there any plans for include_vars: (include_defaults?) functionality in Ansible, or is there some other way to tackle per-os defaults?
