+Ansible (a ssh based config management framework)
+
+A radically simple, model-driven orchestration solution that automates
+configuration, software deployment, and other IT needs.
+
+It comes as an easy-to-use and powerful alternative to infrastructure
+management tools such as CFEngine, Chef, Puppet, and SaltStack.
+
+*Note* that as the source tarball is hosted by github (nodeload), its filename
+will vary depending on the download method. The filename may be "release1.2"
+when downloaded via wget/curl or it may be "ansible-ansible-v1.2-*.tar.gz"
+when downloaded via a browser. Any other form will not be accounted for, as
+the SlackBuild script is set to handle only those two filename patterns.
