Hi all- we're happy to announce that the general release of Ansible 2.9.12 and
2.8.14 are now available!
How do you get it?
Hello,
Can anyone tell me how do I upgrade Ansible v2.9.10 to 2.9.11 or 2.9.12 on RHEL 8?
System is not connected to any subscription manager or repo. I use local repo. I cannot use PIP either.
I downloaded ansible-2.9.11-1.el8.noarch.rpm but now need help on how to upgrade to this version. Where do i download 2.9.12 now that it’s released (rpm)?
Thanks
Jay
Ansible is a python module so you could install via pip like Rick showed. I am sure there are also rpm repos but last I checked
I didnt see any specific for EL8.
Negelected one point. Pip upgrade is
pip install --upgrade ansible==2.9.12
If you are ever unsure of what versions you could get, just stop after the ==. Pip will give an error message then list all possible versions.
Clearly I’ve over multi-tasked.
You want to install but don’t have access to anything other than the RPM but you do have a local repo.
You could either add the rpm to the local repo and dnf install using that repo or use dnf install ansible-2.9.11-1.el8.noarch.rpm. Dnf will report that you are removing the old version and updating to the new just like if you were loading from a repo.
Hello Rick,
Ansible 2.9.12 has a serious bug in its cron module that has caused several problems for people, and many bug reports about it are open? Do you have plans to issue a new release of the 2.9 branch? I feel that you should not wait so long with a new release if there is a serious bug.

Full ack!
Because this regression is a real show-stopper I've added a backport
patch in ansible package for openSUSE / SLE.
