Spring cleaning

[alanorth]

A few spring cleaning things:

• Use ansible debconf module instead of spawning a shell or command to echo some strings (like accepting the Oracle JDK license)
• Verify GPG keys for non-default repos explicitly: https://github.com/arachnafobic/ansible-pg94/blob/master/roles/pgdg/tasks/main.yml#L23
• Delete unused roles (in master we should only have roles we use, as the purpose is to alleviate errors or overhead in commonly used configurations)

Awesome. Did you actually try it yet? :)

[oguya]

Yes. It works fine, plus it's also idempotent!

TASK: [solr | Accept Oracle license] ******************************************

You said the magic word: idempotent!

👍 😉

I don't think if we can verify GPG keys if we obtained them using apt_key[1] module, you can only do that if you used get_url[2], which we are already doing[3] BTW.

Crap, I had seen an example of it linked in a tweet as a recommendation by some infosec peeps. But finding old tweets on Twitter is tricky... and I apparently didn't retweet it. Hmmm.

We actually need all those 9 roles. Anyway, what role(s) did you have in mind that we can clean up ?
BTW we have a lot of branches that we should clean up and or merge into master.

[alanorth]

True, about the roles, it's really just the odf, grafana, and arcgis groups in hosts and the arcgis.yml in the root that we don't need.

[oguya]

Merged update-openssl & solr-5.2.x branches into master.
There are still a few stale branches that we should review, cleanup & merge into master or delete if we no longer need them.
