monkeypatch.py generates infinite recrusion

[greg-hellings]

Should note: this occurs if the monkeypatch.py is somehow invoked multiple times. Specifically, I have forked your role to create 3 or 4 specific roles for my use case. When I add multiple of them to the playbook, the infinite recursion occurs.

This is not how this role should be used. Your folder structure should look something like this:

...
├── roles
│   ├── gekmihesg.openwrt
│   │   └── ...
│   ├── network
│   │   ├── meta
│   │   │   └── main.yml
│   │   └── tasks
│   │       └── main.yml
│   └── wifi
│       ├── meta
│       │   └── main.yml
│       └── tasks
│           └── main.yml
└── site.yml

Where roles/*/meta/main.yml contains:

---
dependencies:
- gekmihesg.openwrt

And site.yml something like:

---
- hosts: all
  roles:
    - network
    - wifi

This way, the openwrt role gets executed once before the network role, loading all necessary patches once. The other roles can just be written like any ordinary Ansible role, the OpenWRT specific overrides will automatically be used for all hosts that are member of a group named openwrt.
