Hi,
from normal package management systems, I am used to have "Provides" which allows me to install any of a set of packages to satisfy a dependency (eg. "Provides: mail-transport-agent"). I was wondering how to best achieve a similar effect with Ansible, so I do not have to hardwire all the role names in many places. Eg. if I want to switch from one role that installs MySQL to one of the dozens of other roles which do "basically" the same, I would like to just depend on a role that provides "database-server", then decide later which database engine I actually want by selecting one role that installs a database server without having to go back to all the roles which are installing applications depending on a database server to reference a different role. How are you guys tackling this kind of problem? Kind regards, Toni -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
