Galaxy roles should be prefixed with organisation

[manics]

The dependencies of galaxy roles have the form openmicroscopy.basedeps, however the playbooks in this repository expect a role name without a prefix (just basedeps). As a result some roles are installed twice, with and without the prefix.

Proposed fix: all playbooks using Galaxy roles should use the prefix.

What are the alternatives? e.g. using name: aggressively to not have duplicates?

- src: openmicroscopy.basedeps
  version: ...
  name: basedeps

Questions that this raises for me:

• will users want to overwrite with updating playbooks (i.e. swap to someuser.basedeps in requirements.yml`)
• if we use openmicroscopy.basedeps everywhere, should we also prefix the variable names further?

That might work, but most galaxy roles/examples seem to use PREFIX. in playbooks.

Do you mean always use the prefix in playbooks?

Don't know, other galaxy roles that I've looked at don't, and chances are if you're running two roles with the same name in the same playbook you're asking for trouble.

No, that would point to not prefixing.

if you're running two roles with the same name in the same playbook you're asking for trouble.

Doesn't that also suggest not prefixing?

That was in response to your comment about prefixing variables with the galaxy org. My proposal is to prefix the roles when they're d playbooks, but not the variables since I don't think you're likely to want to use two roles with the same name from different organisations.
