collection: Automatically identify the dependent lsr collection

[berndfinger]

We might be able to set the lsr dependency automatically from checking the content of variable ansible_collection_name, see also https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/special_variables.html and https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/reference_appendices/special_variables.html.

@berndfinger is this still an open issue?

[berndfinger]

@kksat Yes, it's still open. @sean-freeman @rhmk I just had a look at https://github.com/sap-linuxlab/community.sap_install/issues/354. To me, it looks like the following should work:

• In the code of the affected roles, we no longer use the variable sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection but a new role internal variable __sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection.
• If the variable sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection is defined, we use its value for setting the internal variable __sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection.
• If sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection is not defined, which would be the default, the following rules apply:
  • If ansible_collection_name is community.sap_install, we set __sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection to fedora.linux_system_roles.
  • If ansible_collection_name is redhat.sap_install, we set __sap_general_preconfigure_system_roles_collection to redhat.rhel_system_roles.

@berndfinger : please ensure that ansible_collection_name is set (e.g. if called as system-role from rpm, it might be unset or set differently) - in that case, you may need to double-check with ansible_role_name

No update for more than a year, so moving to backlog.
