Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/default/converge.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.update_pip_packages
      update_pip_package_ignore:
        - libcomps
        - PyGObject
        - pygobject
        - pyxdg
        - resolvelib

    - role: robertdebock.bootstrap
    - role: robertdebock.epel
    - role: robertdebock.buildtools
    - role: robertdebock.python_pip
      python_pip_modules:
