Hi all!  
I ask it jan 18, and ask after 2 month: Any news about ansible2 in debian8/centos7 _stable_ repo? 🙂

P.S. Yep, i know about install ansible from git/pip/testing-repo. This question not about it 🙂

I wouldn't keep my hopes up about seeing ansible 2.x in the regular  
Jessie repositories. That because of Debian's general policy about only  
cherry-picking important bugfixes, not providing new upstream versions.

How do you feel about Debian Backports? Because jessie-backports  
currently contains ansible 2.0.1.0-1.

​That question is probably better targeted at the package maintainers, the Ansible project has very little control over the package availability for each distro. We are on friendly terms with some of them but each distro/repo has it’s own process.​

If you mean the epel7 repo there, it's likely we will wait for 2.1 to  
come out. In particular a lot of people seem to be hitting the handlers  
in includes issue (which should hopefully be fixed in 2.1).
