Hi all, we’ve just tagged the rc1 release for 1.9.1 To test from source, simply clone the git repository (if you haven’t already) and do the following: $ git checkout v1.9.1-0.1.rc1 $ git submodule update $ . 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](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 v1.9.1-0.1.rc1 $ git submodule update # for a .tar.gz (output is dist/ansible-1.9.1.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 on Wednesday, April 8th, at which time we will decide if we will cut the final release or if we need to do an rc2 release. Thanks! ---

Hi James, I built a wheel from the tarball, but the wheel didn’t contain any modules: $ pip list --user pip (6.1.1) setuptools (15.0) wheel (0.24.0) $ ll wheelhouse/ansible\* 2112 -rw-r–r-- 1 anandb staff 1081248 Feb 23 13:51 wheelhouse/ansible-1.8.4-py2-none-any.whl 720 -rw-r–r-- 1 anandb staff 364708 Apr 7 20:30 wheelhouse/ansible-1.9.1-py2-none-any.whl Notice how the ansible 1.9 wheel is much smaller in size. It’s missing all the modules. Regards, Anand ---

Hi Anand, when you cloned the repo, did you update the submodules? ---

I didn’t clone the repo. I fetched the tarball, and built the wheel from it, like this: $ pip wheel --no-deps ansible-1.9.1-0.1.rc1.tar.gz ---

Where did you grab the tarball from? GitHub? If so then that would be expected since the module repos are separate from the core repo, you only pulled 1 of 3 required if you do it that way. You can do it directly via pip with the following command: pip wheel git+[https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git@v1.9.1-0.1.rc1#egg=ansible](https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git@v1.9.1-0.1.rc1#egg=ansible) pip will handle updating the submodules and such for you. ---

Found a 1.9 regression that it would be great if it can be fixed for 1.9.1: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/10661](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/10661)
