[Semibug] Ansible question

[Michael W. Lucas]

Could be spacing or indentation, definitely check at

Try -v

I wouldn't makefile this. Instead, expand your playbook. Not sure how
make interacts with ansible. Maybe it's fine, I dunno, but run by hand
and check.

Not sure what the relative path will do, try full path.

Other than that, looks right to me. I'd ask on Ansible forum.
