Comment (by adfernandes@…):

 I mostly agree with you, blair, about basing on a "stable" version of
 ansible. Unfortunately, there appears to be no such thing. I've had some
 conversations with ansible devs (both on github trackers and in private
 email) and they seem to be of the "just download off of the devel branch"
 attitude.

 When I asked why they have "stable" tarballs, or why they don't just tag
 tested revisions, they get very... well, defensive, I think is the best
 way to put it.

 Anyway. I picked that SHA tree because that's the lastest I saw, and
 critical fixes get monkey-patched in willy-nilly if you look at the github
 repo.

 Many of their features (and documentation) work only with the "2.0"
 version of ansible, which is what the "1.9.2+" latest revisions really
 are. (Note that the current head is about 2000 commits ahead!)

 So, I'm not tied to any particular version... I just want it to work. The
 problem is the ansible "tag and release" model, not macports. We just have
 to figure out how to deal with it.
