Hi Kevin,

What does that mean for the ansible rpm package in general? Do we have to remove the ansible RPM from our systems and install ansible through pip ? Or will ansible-core also land in EPEL 7? My apologies if i donĀ“t understand it correctly.

Kind regards,

Michael Trip

Greetings.

Just a reminder that ansible-core (The split out ansible 'engine') will
be landing in RHEL8.6 (and other el builds thereafter). Also, the
ansible 2.9.x ('ansible classic') package is going to going end of life
and no longer supported in that same timeframe.

So, at that time I will be retiring the ansible 2.9.x package in epel7.

In epel8 I will be converting the 'ansible' epel8 package into the
upstream ansible-5 meta collections package (which also pulls in
ansible-core).

epel7 and epel8 ansible users are advised to plan for this
retirement/change.

Thank you,

kevin
