Shameless plug: if your source directory contains templates, take a look at
this role: https://github.com/dnmvisser/ansible_role_template_tree

Hi John,

Is synchronize an option?

[ansible-project] Keeping directory content in sync

[John Petro]

I am working on a role for work, and it needs to keep the source directory
( that lives on the ansible controlnode ), and the destination ( lives on
teh remote ) in sync. I know that the copy module can keep the
changes/additions in sync.  I am not so much worried about that part.
Where I am getting stuck, is how to handle if we delete a file at the
source, and want that delete carried forward to the remote.

Is there a good way to do that, other than stat the files, loop through the
variable, and delete anything that doesn't exist?

Any advice you have here would be much appreciated.
