I too was experimenting with Ansible and in the process I created a
bare-bones Ansible Role for installing ROS packages. At this point it
basically just installs your package of choice from packages.ros.org. The
Role is relatively simple, but I did put in place tests for ROS Indigo,
Hydro, and Groovy on Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04. These Ansible Role tests are
run in Docker containers so that's a known-working configuration. It's also
easy to run this with Vagrant/Virtualbox.

This was my first time working with Ansible so feedback and pull requests
are welcome.
