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

[kewlfft]

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
