Periods in role names cause installs to fail

[gregdek]

[alex@dev ~]# ansible-galaxy install joshualund.ruby-2.0.0

downloading role '0', owned by joshualund.ruby-2.0
Sorry, joshualund.ruby-2.0.0 was not found on galaxy.ansible.com.

This is an issue with the way the Galaxy client deals with namespacing. Should be fixable by changing the way we do matching on the client side -- but we'll see. ;)

It appears that extra periods were already considered. Here is my experience:

Forked role jlund/ansible-ruby-2.1.
Imported chouseknecht/ansible-ruby-2.1. Did not supply an optional name.
Imports as ansible-ruby-2_1 <-- notice . replaced by _

Install command is reported correctly inside galaxy as:

ansible-galaxy install chouseknecht.ruby-2_1

Is this something we should mention on the 'About' page? And... maybe for next release we should bring Sam in and turn our 'About' page into a mini doc site or something.

We need to document the behavior somewhere.
