Hi all, Ansible 1.8.4 has been released and is now available.
This releases fixes two regressions in modules (ec2 and mount) introduced by the 1.8.3 release.
This update is available via PyPi and releases.ansible.com now, and packages for distros will be available as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you also announce package availability for distros the same way as you announce these releases?
Thank you in advance. Keep up the good work.
Kind regards,
Walter
Hi Walter.
No, we usually do not, since each distro packages the release at their own speed and we don’t keep track of them all. I know for EPEL, it’s usually about 2-3 weeks for the package to make its way out of the testing branches, while for Ubuntu and others it is much sooner.
Thanks!
As one of the Fedora/EPEL maintainers, FYI:
I usually see new releases pretty quicky, do a quick test/scratch build
and then go on to official builds.
* Fedora Rawhide and pre-release Branched builds are done usually
within hours of release, and appear in the next days rawhide/branched
tree.
* Fedora stable releases are also built in hours of release, but then
are submitted as updates. They usually go out to updates-testing the
next day. They have to spend 1 week in updates-testing or get +3
karma to go to updates.
* EPEL releases are also built at the same time and submitted as
updates. They usually go out to epel-testing the next day. They must
spend 2 weeks in epel-testing or get +3 karma to go to updates.
If you don't mind unsigned packages you can always get them direct from
the buildsystem after they are built:

You can test any of the testing updates and provide karma at:

Hope that helps.

Hi James,
Thanks for the useful infos! I think it’s enough to have a certain degree of awareness about the various packages availability timelines 
Just saw the reply afterwards Kevin.
Thanks a lot as well!
Kind regards,
Walter
