Description of problem: Please branch and build ansible in epel9.
Will you be able to branch and build ansible in epel9?
Possibly yes. Do note that ansible-core (the engine) is already available in RHEL9/CentOS-stream-9. "ansible" the collection of collections requires ansible-core. We may be able to build it in epel9, it's going to take some investigation.
It builds from the Fedora specfile without issue. The only problem is that the ansible-core minor version in EL9 might lag the version that ansible requires (and thus the version generated by the dependency generator). I suppose we can patch ansible's setup.py to get around this. ``` sudo dnf install ./results_ansible/5.6.0/1.el9/ansible-5.6.0-1.el9.noarch.rpm Last metadata expiration check: 0:40:22 ago on Wed Apr 6 23:30:24 2022. Error: Problem: conflicting requests - nothing provides (python3.9dist(ansible-core) >= 2.12.4 with python3.9dist(ansible-core) < 2.13) needed by ansible-5.6.0-1.el9.noarch (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) ```
I think it would be safer/better to just keep the ansible version compatible with the ansible-core version and only upgrade when ansible-core gets upgraded.
Should I open a bug to upgrade ansible-core in epel9?
Well, I am not sure how open they would be to doing that... I guess it couldn't hurt. In the mean time we can just downgrade to a ansible-5.x version that works with 2.12.3?
