This commit updates multiple roles to ensure compatibility with Ansible 2.20.
Several include paths and task-loading mechanisms required adjustments,
as Ansible 2.20 applies stricter evaluation rules for complex Jinja expressions
and no longer resolves certain relative include paths the way Ansible 2.18 did.

Key changes:
- Replaced legacy once_finalize.yml and once_flag.yml with the new structure
  under tasks/utils/once/finalize.yml and tasks/utils/once/flag.yml.
- Updated all include_tasks statements to use 'path_join' with playbook_dir,
  ensuring deterministic and absolute file resolution across roles.
- Fixed all network helper includes by converting direct relative paths such as
  'roles/docker-compose/tasks/utils/network.yml' to proper Jinja-evaluated paths.
- Normalized MATOMO_* variable names for consistency with the updated variable
  scope behavior in Ansible 2.20.
- Removed deprecated patterns that were implicitly supported in Ansible 2.18
  but break under the more strict variable and path resolution model in 2.20.

These changes are part of the full migration step required to ensure the
infinito-nexus roles remain stable, deterministic, and forward-compatible with
Ansible 2.20.

Git

Description

This role installs and configures Git on the target system using the Pacman package manager (via the community.general.pacman module). In addition, it configures Git for the user by installing a custom git configuration using the git-configurator tool. The role ensures that Git is installed and that the configuration tasks are run only once per host.

Purpose

The purpose of this role is to automate the installation and configuration of Git for personal computers. By leveraging a custom git-configurator, it sets up essential Git settings such as merge options, rebase preferences, user information, and GPG signing, ensuring a consistent environment for version control operations.

Features

  • Automated Git Installation: Installs Git using Pacman.
  • Custom Git Configuration: Invokes the git-configurator tool to merge user-specific configuration options.
  • Idempotent Task Execution: Uses host-level run-once artifacts to ensure that configuration tasks are executed only once per host.
  • Integration: Works alongside the pkgmgr role to streamline overall system setup.
