Tarball building procedure

Greetings,

it is not clear how the release tarball is built with the given Makefile. From what I can see, all that the Makefile builds is a script with an embedded zipfile, that I couldn't get to work...

ownport commented

You just need to run

$ make prepare

the directory ansible/ will contain all required packages

ownport commented

the compilation to zipped archive is not working for ansible as the ansible logic uses file system for getting modules and plugins

Thanks for the explanation, now I have a grasp of the situation.
Mind if I later submit a PR to add an explicit tarball target to the Makefile? 😉

Feel free

Looking better at the packaged contents, I think there's still a little issue: the markup-safe dependency for jinja2 pulls in native code in ansible/markupsafe/_speedups.so. This makes the package not so platform-independent anymore as it would've been for a 100% pure python package.
Maybe the platform and architecture should be added to the tarball name?

Good catch! I'm going to change a little bit the structure of the project to make it more clear
