Hi all, we’ve just tagged the rc2 release for 1.9
To test from source, simply clone the git repository (if you haven’t already) and do the following:
$ git checkout v1.9.0-0.2.rc2
$ . hacking/env-setup
After which time you can run ansible and ansible-playbook like normal. If you’re not familiar with the hacking/env-setup script, please refer to the documentation here:
http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html#running-from-source
To make a tar ball, RPM or DEB with which to test, do the following:
$ git checkout v1.9.0-0.2.rc2
for a .tar.gz (output is dist/ansible-1.9.0.tar.gz)
$ make sdist
for RPMs
$ OFFICIAL=yes make rpm
for DEBs
$ OFFICIAL=yes make deb
If you discover any errors related to this release candidate, please open a Github issue and be sure to mention which version you’re testing. We will be looking to evaluate the status of this release candidate next Tuesday, March 24th, at which time we will decide if we will cut the final release or if we need to do an rc3 release.
Thanks!
