Hi all, we’ve just tagged the rc1 release for 1.9.4. Unfortunately a bug was identified in the yum module after the release of 1.9.3, which impacts enough users that we’ll be doing this release sooner rather than later.
To test from source, simply clone the git repository (if you haven’t already) and do the following:
$ git checkout v1.9.4-0.1.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
To make a tar ball, RPM or DEB with which to test, do the following:
$ git checkout v1.9.4-0.1.rc1
$ git submodule update
for a .tar.gz (output is dist/ansible-1.9.4.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 Monday, September 7th due to the nature of this bug.
Thanks!
