running debops as per the documentation does not work

[muelli]

I followed the documentation on http://docs.debops.org/en/latest/getting-started.html#your-first-project

I cloned the debops repository and did a python setup.py install --user. debops-update seems to run fine. But I needed to patch GIT_GIT_URI = GIT_URI, because I am behind a corporate proxy.

I.e.

debops-init /tmp/test-debops/
cd /tmp/test-debops
cat >  ansible/inventory/hosts <<EOF
[gitlab]
vagrant_gitlab ansible_ssh_host=192.168.121.59 ansible_ssh_private_key=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key ansible_ssh_user=vagrant
EOF
debops-task all -m setup   # works fine
mkdir ansible/inventory/host_vars/vagrant_gitlab
cat > ansible/inventory/host_vars/vagrant_gitlab/vars.yml <<EOF
# Set custom timezone on the server
ntp_timezone: 'Europe/Paris'

# Protect the SSH service by specifying list of hosts/networks which can
# access it (by default access is allowed from anywhere, but firewall blocks
# too many connection attempts in a short amout of time)
sshd_host_allow: [ '192.168.178.0/24' ]

# Specify a mail server to send all mail through (it needs to accept the
# incoming messages from your host)
postfix_relayhost: 'mail.intern.example.com'

# Set a default admin e-mail address where all messages to root account will
# be forwarded
postfix_default_local_alias_recipients: [ 'admin@example.com' ]
EOF

Currently, the readme states:

Run the DebOps playbooks

$ debops

When I do that, I get

>env http_proxy= https_proxy= debops
Running Ansible playbook from:
/home/muelli/.local/share/debops/debops-playbooks/playbooks/site.yml ...
ERROR: set_fact is not a legal parameter in an Ansible task or handler
>

I expected to be able to run debops as per the documentation.

I'm running ansible 1.7.2.

At the moment, DebOps requires Ansible 1.8.0+, preferably current stable Ansible version (~1.9.x).

ah. interesting. It would have helped me if debops stated that fact. I'll try to upgrade ansible.
