I'm using ansible v2.3.2.0. How come I still can't use git repos for role
dependencies in a role's meta/main.xml file? I'm using the OP's syntax.
dependencies:
- { role: 'git+http://git.example.com/repos/role-foo.git
<http://git.example.com/repos/role-foo,v1.1,foo>'}
or
dependencies:
- { role: 'git+ssh://git.example.com:9999/repos/role-foo,v1.1,foo
<http://git.example.com/repos/role-foo,v1.1,foo>' }
