This portfile installs ansible from the git repository, it will install the
latest and greatest version of ansible. This portfile does not install the
required dependancies to run in fireball mode.
## Installing the stable version of ansible via macports
If you wish to run a stable version of ansible please do the following
First update your macports repo to the latest versions
$ sudo port sync
Then install ansible
$ sudo port install ansible
## Installing the devel version of ansible via macports
To use this Portfile to install the development version of ansible one should
follow the instructions at
<http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories>
The basic idea is to add the _ansible/packaging/macports_ directory to your
_/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf_ file. You should have something similar
to this at the end of the file
file:///Users/jtang/develop/ansible/packaging/macports
rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
In the _ansible/packaging/macports_ directory, do this
$ portindex
Once the index is created the _Portfile_ will override the one in the upstream
macports repository.
Installing newer development versions should involve an uninstall, clean,
install process or else the Portfile will need its version number/epoch
bumped.
