I believe ansible-core includes a "dependency manager" depending on your definition. The ansible-galaxy command in ansible-core can install ansible collections so that's you can install modules that you may need.
It is similar in scope to pip, rubygem, cargo, or any other of the language package installers. It does not resolve based on what modules/plugins are used in your playbooks but it will resolve dependencies between collection dependencies if needed (and those deps were properly listed). I know that Nirik has plans to get newer ansible packages into epel which provide an all-in-one experience by installing about 75 collections which give you an experience similar what was included in ansible-2.9 but I'll let him speak to how he wants to do that. -Toshio On Thu, Sep 16, 2021, 7:20 AM Josh Boyer <jwbo...@redhat.com> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 16, 2021 at 10:10 AM Leon Fauster > <leonfaus...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > > > On 16.09.21 14:22, Josh Boyer wrote: > > > On Wed, Sep 15, 2021 at 3:48 PM Kevin Fenzi <ke...@scrye.com> wrote: > > >> > > >> Just a heads up that ansible-core (the engine part of ansible) is now > in > > >> CentOS stream 9: > > >> > > >> https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/ansible-core > > >> > > >> Note that this is the engine, you will likely want to install > > >> collections for modules and roles, etc. > > > > > > For those that might not have followed how Ansible has been > > > refactored, take a look at > > > https://www.ansible.com/blog/ansible-3.0.0-qa > > > > > > ansible-core is the lowest level of the ansible stack and does not > > > include many of the modules and plugins that those using ansible > > > engine (ansible-2.9) might be used to.
