Flatten jenkins vars for overloading #44

Open eric-weaver opened 8 years ago

eric-weaver commented 8 years ago

This change is proposed in order to have a more fine grain control over Jenkins install versions. With release of Jenkins 2.0 the current role fails to install. This change allows for easy overriding of jenkins variables in order to point to different mirrors.

Changes:

Flatten the nested vars file
Add jenkins namespacing prefixes.
Abstracted out the debian apt_key and redhat repo and key urls in order to allow for variable overloading.

This namespacing change will allow for the role variables to be moved into defaults allowing for overriding of variables outside this role which can be see at the following commit: https://github.com/cnry/ansible-jenkins/commit/fc05b7ef8977a640bb7b6115b504b39cc5be98a0

The benefit of this would be to allow installing of dependencies from mirrors rather than relying on the upstream repos.
