retirement of puppet in epel7
by Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden
Hello everyone,
Puppet 3.6 in EPEL7 is long EOL and has real security problems. As
discussed on devel@ (archive[1]), it's not feasible to upgrade it within
EL7 so the intent is to retire it instead. Unless there are serious
reasons not to, I'll proceed with this in a week.
Regards,
Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden

Hi everyone,
I have rebased ansible to ansible 5 in epel8 and submitted a Bodhi update[1].
I would appreciate if you could help test the update and provide feedback. We
are also providing a newer version of ansible 5 in epel8-next that depends on
the newer version of ansible-core available in CentOS 8 Stream. Here[2] is the
Bodhi update for the epel8-next version.

I also branched ansible for epel9 and epel9-next. Here[3,4] are the Bodhi
updates for that.

Remember that ansible 5 is just a bundle of ansible collections that are
released together, and it depends on ansible-core (the engine) which provides
the core modules, engine, and command line tools. This provides the
"batteries-included" approach that users of ansible classic (ansible 2.9.x and
below) are used to. If you prefer a more minimalist approach, you can install
ansible-core alongside the specific collections you need. You can install
collections through EPEL's ansible-collection-* RPM packages or from Ansible
Galaxy. If you would like to do this, you can switch to ansible-core with `dnf
swap ansible ansible-core`.
