== Summary ==
The ansible project has re-organized how they release and distribute
ansible. This change moves Fedora to be in sync with those changes
and
retires the old 'ansible classic/2.9.x' package in favor of a
'ansible' package that pulls in ansible-core (the engine) and
includes
all the collections in upstream ansible releases.
Hi everyone,
I have a couple comments/questions about this change.
How will this effect EPEL? Is the plan to keep Ansible 2.9 there for
now?
Could we also consider making Ansible a modular package on both Fedora
and EPEL? Then, it would be possible to install any of the currently
supported versions of the Ansible core/engine (ansible 2.9, ansible-
base 2.10, and ansible-core 2.11).
Will the new `ansible` package have virtual provides for the
collections it provides? While there is not a good reason to, it will
still be possible to install both the new `ansible` package and any of
the ansible-collection-* packages, right?
Also, I would be happy to help with Ansible packaging in Fedora;
however, I am not yet part of the packager group and still need a
sponsor.
Thanks,
Maxwell
