Please note I've created an AUR package for ansible-aur

Hi!

I've created an AUR package for ansible-aur.

Let me know if you want to co-maintain it.

Also, it could be worth mentioning in the arch wiki.

Happy hacking,

thanks there is something wrong with your pkgver() though, it should no show master in the version
what about:
git describe --long | sed 's/^v//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'

Also is /usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules/ standard? what about /usr/share/ansible/library ?

Thanks for the heads up!
I've fixed pkgver() following your suggestion; I had to add --tags, though, otherwise it fails:

$ git describe --long | sed 's/^v//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
  
  
fatal: No annotated tags can describe '39541acc7867f9da8b944e5e27ebd24352a9f673'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.

Regarding the path to the modules, I just followed what the manpage says:

$ man ansible
...
       -M, --module-path
           prepend colon-separated path(s) to module library (default=[u'/home/jenkins/.ansible/plugins/modules',
           u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'])

If I place the module under /usr/share/ansible/library it fails horribly with a

$ ansible -vvvv -m aur localhost
