While EPEL would only support one branch (so actually they jumped to $latest, aka 2.7.8 for now), there are cases when one needs to stick with a particular version of ansible, also because of ensuring that playbook code is still working, having to reflected deprecated things, etc. Or that can be also (thinking about openshift and openshift-ansible deployment, that only support 2.6.x and break with 2.7.x for now), that some other tools in your framework depend on a specific version too. That's the reason why the CentOS Configuration Management SIG still builds and provide ansible : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/configmanagement/x86_64/ We (CentOS Infra, for some reasons explained above) still rely on 2.6.x, so installing (without epel) that release is just a matter of : yum install -y centos-release-ansible26 && yum install ansible Of course, if you mix that with Epel, don't forget to put an exclude in epel yum repo config (exclude=ansible) to stick with the one from cfgmgmt SIG :) So don't also get me wrong : I'm *not* saying that the Epel version isn't good, but I just wanted to offer alternatives, and also reasons why they exist -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab
