In order to align better with Red Hat processes, the Ansible team will be
making some changes in how Ansible packages are distributed to the
community.
For users of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux version 7, the Ansible package
will transition from the EPEL repository to the Extras channel. There will
be no change for version 6 of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux as Extras is not
a part of version 6.
It is understood that a lot of users install Ansible from EPEL; as a
result, multiple sources are now being provided to install Ansible:
-
RHEL 7 users will get it from RHEL 7 Extras.
-
RHEL 6 users will continue to get it from EPEL 6 repositories
-
Non RHEL RPM-based users will be able to choose from multiple locations:
-
CENTOS 7 Extras will pick it up per their normal distributions.
-
Ansible will have RPMs/YUM-repo on releases.ansible.com. I’ll send a
follow up message regarding that in the next day or two as our engineers
finish that up.
For people that have workflow around EPEL, the EPEL maintainers have agreed
to give us a couple of weeks overlap, so your workflow will still work
while you work on changing over to one of the new distribution methods.
For NON-RPM based distributions, you should get or install Ansible through
your usual means, such as the Ansible PPA for Ubuntu, or PyPI.
If you have any questions, please reach out here.
