Just thought I would send a short note to the list about epel and
fedora packages for those that are using them. There seems to be a bit
of confusion about when they are available, etc.
- I've been building new ansible versions into all supported Fedora
branches and epel-6 usually within an hour of release.
- If you are in a hurry, you can get them from the Fedora buildsystem
as soon as they are done building:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=13842
(Note that although these are the official packages, they are not
signed yet from the buildsystem if that is important to you).
- As soon as builds are done, I submit updates:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/ansible
- Usually the next day all those updates are signed and are pushed out
to Fedora updates-testing repos / epel-testing repos.
At this point you can use the (signed) package with a simple:
Fedora:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update ansible
or
EPEL/RHEL/CentOS/SL:
yum --enablerepo=epel-testing update ansible
- The amount of time the updates spends in testing varies. For EPEL
it's 2 weeks _or_ when the update gets +3 karma. You can login and
add karma at the above updates site if the package works for you.
Such karma/testing is very welcome!
- As soon as the updates get enough karma or spend enough time, I
request them to go stable and they appear in the next days stable
updates compose.
Hope that clears up the process/timeline.
