Mailing List Archive: some ansible changes are needed for Linuxmint Debian Edition

I have built myhtv from source on Debian 12 using ansible for
dependencies. Today I'm testing Linuxmint Debian Edition 6 which just
launched and is based on Debian 12 bookworm.

Note there are some errors.

Look in /home/jim/ansible/roles/mythtv-deb/tasks. I expect to see a
main.yml file.
Under that is a per-distribution files like debian.yml, ubuntu.yml and
linux_mint.yml.

Seems like Mint is using "LMDE" rather than "Linux MInt" as returned in
the ansible_distribution.
I'd disagree with that choice since there's no indication of a unique
distribution but it's theirs.

I convert names to lower case and replace spaces with '_'s in the
mythtv-deb role.

Try copying the linux_mint.yml file to lmde.yml

That may only change the fatal reason, but it's a start. You can take this
off-list if still fails
and more changes are necessary.
