Any one know why this was removed? Our build scripts are failing to install since it was removed from the ppa.

Does this have anything to do with the 2.0.0 release? I see a 2.0 package for trusty but not 1.9.4-1 which used to be there.

Sadly we don't seem able to host multiple versions of a package  
through the PPA, so 2.0 will removes 1.9.

We keep our own tarballs, but don't currently have a .deb or .rpm repository

Well if anyone is stuck because of breaking changes this might help if you’re on precise (note, you should never trust random deb packages)

I noticed the same and that sucks. In the future, is it possible to make people aware of this fact before the ppa just disappear so we can prepare for the impact and don’t get our automated envs brake?  
I apologies if this has already been done and I have somehow missed it.

Thanks,  
Igor

The option to install directly with pip seems like a safer bet to me:

Something along the lines of:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

sudo pip install --upgrade pip  
sudo pip install ansible==1.9.4
