    Hi,

    what's the recommended approach for managing dependencies of roles in a playbook that might depend on 20+ roles? It seems that for Tower, I'd need to save my requirements in

    roles/requirements.yml
    . But what if I require roles from ansible-galaxy in my
    requirements.yml
    and the roles have
    dependencies
    defined in their
    meta/main.yml
    , will I face issues when using Tower?

    Can I also use use

    meta/main.yml
    for that? Seems like the consent in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/65809 is no.

    Thank you very much!
