Ansible isn't in the public openwrt packages. I can install it with pip, but it needs a lot of diskspace and these development packages:

gcc
python3-dev
python3-cffi

I think if you build it throught buildbot, the extra packages won't need to be installed in the image and everything will take less space.

EDIT The git package should also be included in case I do ansible-pull from a git URL.

I'm bumping the filesystem size in #50 already, maybe I should change it for all packages now, I hope that's enough, even with that bump, during building / installing ansible I had to move some files to another drive.

Now, I'm not fully sure if to put it in all images, or only waveshare. I'm not sure because during upgrade the whole new image needs to be downloaded to RAM. On the dualeth and sensing devices I tend to have only 1GB of RAM. Based on /lib/upgrade/common.sh and /lib/upgrade/platform.sh, at least it doesn't look like it needs to store the uncompressed image (the combined command would look something like busybox zcat openwrtblabla.gz|dd of=/dev/mmcblk_whatever. I would say we first try to put it only into waveshare (these I use with 8GB RAM so it's less of a problem) and then I see how much diskspace is available.
