Red Hat announced today that Ansible was being deprecated from the extras channel. Their advice is that those who have "previously installed Ansible and its dependencies from the Extras channel are advised to enable and update from the Ansible Engine channel, or uninstall the packages as future errata will not be provided from the Extras channel." https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:1075 Given that, I believe it is reasonable to see ansible return to EPEL. This was discussed in previous EPEL meetings a bit, so I'm sure it was known to at least some of the folks involved. -- Todd ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
