Where did we introduce this dependency?

[mdellweg]

The Makefile needs it.

[fao89]

maybe we should add to the Makefile, make install_test?

[mdellweg]

It should be installed before calling make, as it is needed to compile the targets.

[mikedep333]

OK, please just add a comment about why it's needed, since it would not be obvious to an ansible developer.

[mdellweg]

There is one thing about this whole keep the role running standalone that i don't see any proper solution for.
The moment we add nifty plugins like #382 or #372 they will need to be addressed with their FQCN. And that will make the roles incapable of breathing "outside" of the collection. And this is not an ansible 2.8 limitation.

[mikedep333]

Please add the 1 comment, but I am approving this now.

What kind of bad Karma is this?
Every time i make one of those requested changes, the CI is broken in a new creative way.

I learned that instead of doing fqdn, we can do:

Suggested change

	- pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_all_services
	- pulp.pulp_installer.pulp_devel
	collections:
	- pulp.pulp_installer
	roles:
	- pulp_all_services
	- pulp_devel

I did it in a hack-ish way here:

#562

@mdellweg Should we close this?

Do we even still need it? I know that running the collection is an official part of the installer now.
