Greetings.
Just a note for anyone looking for ansible in epel7.
It's been retired there because with the release of RHEL 7.4 it's now int the rhel-extras channel.
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/htm...
Accordingly, you can get ansible now from rhel extras channel, or CentOS extras repo.
You can also get ansible rpms now from http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/rpm/
Note that ansible continues to be available from epel6.

Since Ansible was added as an "unsupported dependency" for the System Roles feature, it's a bit different from other things in that it's unlikely to receive updates.
Users of Ansible should probably avoid depending on the Extras version unless they're okay with no fixes to it... :/

Ansible upstream has added rpm packages for those who might get suck in that situation. It won't be exactly like the epel versions and we [upstream] haven't quite worked out all the things (like having an rpm with the repo config files in it) but hopefully it will be useful.

(Official releases are packaged in the releases subdir, hopefully the other subdirs are equally self explanatory)

Citiation needed?

I have talked to the rhel extras version maintainers and they made no indication that they didn't want to ever update it. In fact, they said they wanted to try and keep it in sync with the fedora version if at all possible.
I have no idea if thats changed, but I guess time will tell.

It's mentioned right in the release notes that you linked.

If it is actually going to be updated and kept in sync, then that's great. But the release notes indicate the opposite will be true.

yes but I meant the part about never getting updates. I don't equate unsupported with any particular update policy. They might update it faster than anything else, or slower.
Anyhow, feel free to get ansible from whatever source you like.

Except EPEL, of course. ;)
Anyway, we'll see how it goes. Fortunately, Ansible offers repositories now. :)
