I was just about to install Ansible using EPEL and it seems to be behind in release version, currently, it is at 1.5.5. Does Ansible (the company) maintain this RPM? I don’t mind building 1.6 from the .spec file but since I have EPEL being pulled into Spacewalk, it would make it a lot easier to maintain if EPEL were current. ---

Nope. πŸ™‚ I usually update it within hours of release, but EPEL has a policy for updates that requires updates to either: a) Spend 2 weeks in epel-testing or b) get +3 karma from 3 people who the update worked for. Before it goes to updates. See: [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ansible/](https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ansible/) > I don't mind building 1.6 from the .spec file but since I have EPEL > being pulled into Spacewalk, it would make it a lot easier to > maintain if EPEL were current. 1.6.1 is in epel-testing and has been since right after it was released. Karma welcome. kevin ---

Thanks Kevin, I will install it from testing and throw some karma your way. ---

Would be awesome to have an official Ansible repository, like [yum.ansible.com](http://yum.ansible.com) πŸ™‚ ---

We are planning on doing this at some point in the (hopefully near) future, for both yum and apt. ---

Excerpts from James Cammarata's message of 2014-06-07 21:14:41 -0400: > We are planning on doing this at some point in the (hopefully near) future, > for both yum and apt. Not entirely on-topic, but it's a "thing" of mine: Thank you all \*so much\* for having functioning distribution packages from a very early stage in Ansible. As someone who falls way more on the "ops" than the "dev" side of things, it's refreshing to see projects with actual release processes and proper packaging, which in these heady Github days are all too often omitted.
