Hi James and thanks for the quick answer. I already tried what you proposed but my issue is that the role ended not being self-contained. i.e. I had to put the default os values under /etc/ansible/group_vars/machine_* instead of within the role hierarchy. Or is there a way that I missed? Thanks. -- Antoine -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
