Ansible rsync changed status

rsync.yaml

# Uses the rsync change summary to figure out how many things changed, and uses that
# to tell Ansible if something changed or not
- name: sync hieradata
  shell: rsync --delete -ri "/tmp/repo/hieradata" "/etc/puppet/hieradata" | awk '{print $1}' | grep -vE '..\.\..\.\.\.\.' | wc -l
  register: hieradata_changes
  changed_when: "hieradata_changes.stdout|int != 0"

Awesome! This was a huge help. I'd not have bothered to figure it out, but it makes me happy.

Thanks.
