Ansible role ableton.sccache (ARCHIVED)

NOTE: This repository has been archived, and although the role remains accessible on Ansible Galaxy, we are no longer maintaining it

This role installs sccache on the given Ansible host and configures it for a given user.

Requirements

Ansible >= 2.10 is required. This role supports package-based installation on the following OS types:

• macOS (via the homebrew module)
• Windows (via the win_chocolatey module)

For all other platforms, a source-based installation will be performed. On such systems where package-based installation is not available, the software can be installed from a binary download. In such cases, please refer to the sccache releases to see supported platforms.

Role Variables

The following variables influence how sccache is installed on the host:

• sccache_config_options: Dictionary of dictionaries describing key/value options to write to the sccache configuration file.
• sccache_download_url: Where to download prebuilt sccache binaries from.
• sccache_install_from_binary: When true, install sccache from a prebuilt binary instead of installing from a package manager.
• sccache_user: User to configure sccache for.
• sccache_version: Version and SHA256 checksums of sccache to install. Only applies when installing from a binary package.

See the defaults/main.yml file for full documentation on required and optional role variables.
