Greetings.
I thought I would send out an email with the plans for epel and ansible 2.0.
Since ansible 2.0 is (to a pretty high degree) compatible with the same playbooks as 1.9.x, we are going to just update the existing ansible package rather than create a parallel installable one.
Note that while playbooks should be compatible and require no changes, if you are using the ansible API, you will need to adjust your scripts/plugins. See: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/developing_api.html (The ansible api is not guaranteed stable between any versions)
To allow for additional testing and folks to check/port their scripts/plugins we are going to leave the ansible 2.0.0.x packages in epel-testing for a longer than normal time period. We will send another notice before the 2.0.0.x version goes to stable. Currently version 2.0.0.2 is available in epel6 and epel7 testing repositories.
Thanks,
kevin
