Hi Team, In older version of ansible till 2.9 we download ansible source tar from below Ansible URL URL: [https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/](https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/) **Step Followed:** tar xvf ansible-2.8.3.tar.gz cp ansible-2.8.3.tar.gz /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ cp ansible-2.8.3/packaging/rpm/ansible.spec /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/ rpmbuild -bb SPECS/ansible.spec RPM will be available under /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ Now we are planning to build RPM of ansible-core 2.14.1 for RHEL 8 migration project , we are seeing source available in below path and there is not RPM build procedure support. [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/v2.14.1](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/v2.14.1) Please guide procedure to build RPM for ansible-core 2.14.1. Thanks and Regards, S Sathish ---

Stop. Grab my tools from https:/github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/ , and work from those for RHEL 7. If you have RHEL 8 or 9, use the upstream RPMs for ansible-core instead, and do \*not\* try to build the mislabeled ansible collections package, now published as "ansible", without reading my .spec files. The split of ansible to "ansible-core", which actually contains usable ansible binaries and tools, and the mislabeled and very large "ansible" tarball built of more than 100 distinct ansible collections modules from many distinct third parties has been a source of agony for ansible users since it was first published. You need "ansible-core". Most of us have no use for the "ansible" package at all now, since its more than 100 modules can be installed more safely and far more compactly by only installing them if or when needed, and updated independently fro meach other. I publish RPM building tools for RHEL 7, 8, 9, and Fedora over at [https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/](https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/) . If you have RHEL 8 or later, the published RPMs from Red Hat for ansible-coreare nearly as recent, but there is no upstream published "ansible" RPM for RHEL. You don't need it, and you probably don't want it, but my repo includes for building as recent a version as your RHEL can handle if you need. RHEL 7 has a default of python 3.6 maximum. RHEL 8 and later have python 3.10 available, and can use that for building current ansible-core and ansible releases. ---

Hi Team, we are using RHEL 8 , you have mentioned to use the upstream RPMs for ansible-core instead of build the RPMs. can you provide link where we can use upstream RPMs for ansisble-core.2.14.1 version. Thanks and Regards, S Sathish ---

I don't like the RHEL channels, but I believe that one is available by default? If not, you may have to use "subscription-manager" to enable the channel. Nico Kadel-Garcia ---

Hi Team, We have checked ansible-core for RHEL8 comes from ansible-automation-platform Repo which is not part of our default subscription. So we have decided to build the ansible-core 2.14.1 RPM for our deliverable from Opensource. Please let us know procedure to do the same. we have tried below procedure as per documentation it doesn’t work. $ git clone [https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git](https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git) $ cd ./ansible $ make rpm **Error Message:** [root@node1 ansible]# make rpm make: \*\*\* No rule to make target ‘rpm’. Stop. Thanks and Regards,S Sathish ---

Check my notes at [https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/README.md](https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/README.md) ansible-core 2.14 requires python 3.8 or later, and a small stack of dependencies. My notes there use "mock" to build clean RPMs in a clean locally generated environment. I also have tools there to build the ansible package as well, and a set of individual ansible\_collections modules from Fedora. > Please let us know procedure to do the same. > > we have tried below procedure as per documentation it doesn't work. > > $ git clone [https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git](https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git) > $ cd ./ansible > $ make rpm Yeah, that's not going to work due to the missing python RPM dependencies and the lack of a local "make rpm" seutp. ---

You need to run these commands at the top of the git repo, in "ansiblerepo". It needs to build up the dependency chain, including a local git repo to use for mock based builds. Nico Kadel-Garcia
