The answer right now is "no, you can't". But that's one of the reasons we're doing an early beta here: to get feedback on issues like this. This is one of those questions we weighed quite a bit. In the end, we decided that a tight and transparent linkage to Github was the right way to go, and the ability to alias roles was less important, so we removed the aliasing ability. We expect that this will mean a lot of new roles with "ansible" in the name -- and I'm okay with that. In the past, we prohibited this; we basically remapped these role names for you. In your example, had you tried to import "redhat.ansible-jboss", we would have suggested "redhat.jboss" as your role name. I'm happy to hear other opinions on this. Is the ability to make the role name "pretty" important? --g -- Greg DeKoenigsberg Ansible Community Guy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
