Some years ago, I added a script for updating headers for (C) in the python files I was developing for Risu. In this way, the header got the list of authors and years working on the files updated automatically. With the pass of the years, the list started to became a bit too long, so I worked on creating code for getting ranges instead. This is the code I used:...

As a part of the ansible playbooks used for the hosts, I can add a snippet like this: gitrepos: - { url: "https://github.com/myrepo/repo.git", tag: "tagtocheckout", folder: "/root/path-for-check-out", chdir: "subdir to enter", build: "make build", exec: "build/mybuiltbinary", } With this definition in the host inventory, we can then in our playbook to perform several steps:...
