I am in the process of converting a large system from Chef to Ansible, and this is pretty much my only blocker. I've read dozens of posts/articles where this problem is discussed.
So far the answer from Ansible (DaHaan really) has been "I like it this way so tough it up" or "its too late to change it". But having general variables override specific variables simply does not make any sense. I have seen no argument from the Ansible team that supports this behavior on its merits. Ansible's variable setup is so much cleaner than Chef's, but this really throws a wrench in the works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
