Doc Text:
*Ansible* deprecated in the Extras channel *Ansible* and its dependencies will no longer be updated through the Extras channel. Instead, the Red Hat Ansible Engine product has been made available to Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions and will provide access to the official Ansible Engine channel. Customers who have previously installed *Ansible* and its dependencies from the Extras channel are advised to enable and update from the Ansible Engine channel, or uninstall the packages as future errata will not be provided from the Extras channel. *Ansible* was previously provided in Extras (for AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures, and IBM POWER, little endian) as a runtime dependency of, and limited in support to, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) System Roles. Ansible Engine is available today for AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures, with IBM POWER, little endian availability coming soon. Note that *Ansible* in the Extras channel was not a part of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux FIPS validation process. The following packages have been deprecated from the Extras channel: * _ansible(-doc)_ * _libtomcrypt_ * _libtommath(-devel)_ * _python2-crypto_ * _python2-jmespath_ * _python-httplib2_ * _python-paramiko(-doc)_ * _python-passlib_ * _sshpass_ For more information and guidance, see the Knowledgebase article at https://access.redhat.com/articles/3359651. Note that Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles, available as a Technology Preview, continue to be distributed though the Extras channel. Although Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles no longer depend on the _ansible_ package, installing _ansible_ from the Ansible Engine repository is still needed to run playbooks which use Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Roles.

Comment 38 Pavel Cahyna 2018-04-09 18:11:00 UTC
Ansible is going to be provided by its own channel. The ansible packages and dependencies (in particular the libtomcrypt, libtommath, python-crypto packages) will remain in Extras but will not get updated.
