Monty Taylor fe6dc2204d Use package module to install bindep packages We can pass in a list of packages and the package managers we care about should accept a list as input. We can't do the with_items trick because the package action plugin does not support it. Change-Id: Id79f33caa7cb3ab7255490d02cd2b43fc7d5227b		2017-07-13 08:07:03 -05:00

Installs distro packages using bindep tool

Looks for a bindep.txt in a project's source directory, or failing that a other-requirements.txt. If one exists, run bindep on the file to produce a list of required distro packages that do not exist and then install the missing packages.

Role Variables

bindep_dir: The directory to look for bindep files in. Defaults to current directory.
bindep_profile: A specific bindep profile to request. Defaults to empty.
bindep_file: Path to a specific bindep file to read from.
bindep_command: Path to the bindep command. Defaults to unset which will look for a system installed bindep. If bindep_command is not found, bindep will be installed into a temporary virtualenv.
bindep_fallback: Path to a bindep fallback file to be used if no bindep file can be found in bindep_dir.
