kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 7bc12e55f3 fix(docs): drop the generated sections the designer merge put back
aceb5295ef moved Cosmos, Quick Setup and Credits out of the committed role
READMEs and into the documentation build's own scratch checkout, so a
committed copy can no longer go stale when the metadata moves. Merging
feature/designer (ebad39422c) took origin/main's side of those files, which
still carries them, and reinstated all 290 along with the cosmos make target
and its i8cos alias. tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_readme.py hard-fails on a
committed copy, and the reinstated Credits block credited one person with two
URLs, which tripped the credits-attribution lint as well.

Stripped with the repository's own fence-aware parser against
MANAGED_SECTIONS, not with a line filter: the Cosmos block holds a mermaid
fence a naive filter would cut through. The result is byte-identical to
aceb5295ef for every README that carries no prose change since.

The cosmos target wrote the forbidden section straight back into the
checkout, so it goes with them.

Fakeroot

Description

This Ansible role installs fakeroot for the current Linux distribution. Fakeroot enables non-privileged users to simulate root-level file manipulations, making it ideal for building packages or performing file operations that normally require root permissions.

Learn more about fakeroot on the Debian Wiki and fakeroot on Debian.

Overview

This role automates the installation of fakeroot via the OS package manager, ensuring that users can simulate superuser operations without requiring elevated privileges.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to automate the installation of fakeroot so that users can simulate superuser operations without requiring elevated privileges. This is particularly useful in development environments and during package building processes.

Features

  • Automated Installation: Installs fakeroot via the OS package manager.
  • Idempotent Execution: Ensures that fakeroot is installed and remains up to date.
  • Simplified Setup: Minimizes manual installation steps for environments where fakeroot is required.
