What's the preferred way to conditionally configure something if the 'how'
changes from os to os, and version to version 'of' any particular os ?
Here's an example - setting up a serial console on a SysVinit system
(example - debian 7.8):
---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: yes
tasks:
- name: set up serial console
replace:
dest: /etc/inittab
regexp: "^#T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100$"
replace: "T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100"
notify:
- telinit_q
handlers:
- name: telinit_q
command: "/sbin/telinit q"
But that only works on debian-7 systems. I can limit it to debian-7 by
inserting
when:
ansible_distribution == 'Debian' and
ansible_distribution_version == '7'
But that doesn't handle centos-5 which has a slightly different
search/replace needed....or centos-7 which uses systemd, and so on.
I guess I'm struggling with how to have a set (tree?) of plays for task-ABC
that are known good, but only using them when the os/version say to do it
that way.
Is the preferred way to include .yml files based on distribution/version
values discovered at runtime ? Examples ?
