1. ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions (Fabian Arrotin)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Message: 1 Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2021 13:48:17 +0100 From: Fabian Arrotin arrfab@centos.org To: "The CentOS developers mailing list." centos-devel@centos.org, centos-announce@centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions Message-ID: d5ca00f8-6ae8-de4d-45ac-750d4b60f247@centos.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Notification:

So far, the ConfigManagement SIG rebuilt and shipped some Ansible versions through different repos (per "branch") over the last months/years , so we currently still have on mirror.centos.org (and so external mirrors) the following repositories :

For CentOS 7: - ansible 2.6 - ansible 2.7 - ansible 2.8 - ansible 2.9

For CentOS 8 (also working on 8-stream) : - ansible 2.9

Per Ansible EOL policy (see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_main...) we'll continue to maintain 2.8 (security fixes if they appear) and 2.9 but we'll remove previous versions/repositories.

Worth knowing that they'd still be available through vault.centos.org though, but not available directly through a centos-release-ansible*.rpm (configuring yum/dnf repositories on systems)

So far I never had a chance/time to look at ansible 2.10, as there is a split between ansible-base and ansible-core and then collections. My goal would be to discuss with EPEL/Fedora maintainer (Kevin Fenzi) about the best way to have it working and then we can start (re)building through configmanagement tags on https://cbs.centos.org

Kind Regards,
