Description Neal Gompa 2022-01-07 16:36:07 UTC

Description of problem:
The ansible-core package in Fedora has macros and a dependency generator for supporting packaged Ansible collections. For packaging collections in EPEL 9, we'd like to have these present in the ansible-core package in EL9.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.12.1-1.el9

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2022-01-07 17:18:41 UTC

Thank you for the contribution.

The ansible-core package in RHEL is only supported for use by RHEL System Roles.  We will not provide additional macros or generators that enable or encourage use of ansible-core outside of that scope.  I would suggest including these in a EPEL specific package instead.

Neal, we started discussing this issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2033025. We are planning on creating a separate ansible-rpm-macros package for Fedora and EPEL.
