Hi Guys, Quite for few times we have been using ansible 1.9.4 as CM and deployment tool( ansible-pull ) for our production systems ( Ubuntu 14.04 64bit devices) which are scattered around the world . Everything was working well until the ppa-repo <https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ansible> for Ubuntu got updated with the latest version to 2.0.0 making 1.9.4 unavailable via apt-get method .
The installation using pip for 1.9.4 was not a good choice for us as the default installation directories for both the system is changed (apt method uses */usr/bin *while pip uses /usr/local/bin and now some of . I really want ansible to reside on */usr/bin* path rather then */usr/local/bin * . The last method I wanted to try is to build a deb package from source and install via it .This is the first time I am building a debian package from source and followed instructions from ansible docs <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_installation.html#latest-releases-via-apt-ubuntu> . Checked out in stable-1.9 branch and ran `make deb` . However seems I got few errors while building from both the ansible-1.9.4 tar ball <http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-1.9.4.tar.gz>from http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ and from the GitHub source code . I have tried compiling deb package on Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit with gcc g++ 4.9.3 running on it .Kernel version - 3.19.0-37-generic - From tar ball - (Complete log at - http://pastebin.com/fXuKiHU3) - cp: cannot stat ‘packaging/debian’: No such file or directory - sed: can't read deb-build/unstable/ansible-1.9.4/debian/changelog: No such file or directory - From github source and checkout to stable-1.9 (Complete log - http://pastebin.com/T40EZqyy) - build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7' does not exist -- can't clean it - dpkg-deb: building package `ansible' in `../ansible_1.9.4-0 .git201601201800~unstable_all.deb'. The second method built the deb package but built in unstable . I am pretty sure that it means the package is unstable . I did not got what did I missed . Is there a place from where I can get the pre built deb packages for these versions .
