See the [ansible package README](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/ansible) for more details. + +## Specific / strict upper version bound for (python-)resolvelib + +Upstream seems [very cautious](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/requirements.txt#L10) with `resolvelib` bumps and use very specific / strict version bound for it in their dependencies resolution definitions (used by `ansible-galaxy`). + +As such, it may happen that the `build` and / or the `check` processes require an outdated version of [python-resolvelib](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-resolvelib/) compared to the one available in our repository. +In such cases, patching sources to [increase the upper version bound for `resolvelib`](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/ansible-core/-/commit/55405bd0324c46b5e63a6965cac151149829a9d1) is *most likely* enough to build the package succesfully (while waiting for upstream to do the change on their side). Despite upstream carefulness on that matter (apparently for past / historic reasons), we should not expect any breaking changes in **minor** `resolvelib` bumps.
