And yet:
- name: Set download dir permissions
file: dest={{www_dir}} state=directory
owner=linaro-ci-publish group=bot-publishers
mode=0775
recurse=yes
sudo: yes
Before:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 11 Mar 20 2013 HEADER.html
After:
-rwxrwxr-x 1 linaro-ci-publish bot-publishers 11 Mar 20 2013
HEADER.html
Bottom line? Ansible docs are nowhere detailed enough to remind even
Ansible developers how modules actually work, what to say about users
who need to *learn* how it works.
Another issue is that recursive=yes appear to work rather slow (taking
chmod -R as reference).
