Ansible 2.3.0.0 version in 3.6.3 has serious upstream bug
The version of Ansible included in Alpine v3.6 is currently at version 2.3.0.0, however this contains a serious bug in “ansible-galaxy” where it wrecks roles with files named the same as the role name.
For example a role called “foo” with a template located in “templates/foo.j2” will be downloaded and extracted to the roles dir but the template file will be completely missing.
Relevant Ansible bug/issue is here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/22572
This is resolved in Ansible v2.3.1.0 which is present in the “edge” repo.
Is there a timeframe on getting this version of Ansible across from Edge to 3.6?
