Hey all, Just wondering if anyone has started to feel any pain from trying to use ansible with F23 systems. As part of the Fedora Cloud working group it would be nice to ship a system that could be targeted by ansible out of the box. Unfortunately, since ansible uses python 2.X vs python 3 it doesn't really work. A simple answer would be to "just install python", but I actually hit several roadblocks because of python packages that are usually there but have been replaced by their python 3 counterparts. As an example for one ansible playbook like [1] I had to install these rpms in order to get it to work: python libselinux-python python-dnf python-docker-py Unfortunately there isn't a catchall that is a workaround for this problem because the libraries you need on the system depend on the modules you will use. Does anyone have a good solution for this? Obviously it would be nice if ansible went to python3 but I think they have stated clearly that they are sticking with python2 for backwards compat with systems that still need 2.4. -Dusty [1] - https://github.com/dustymabe/vagrantdirs/blob/master/f22/playbook.yml
I suspect this is probably better to be hashed out in a bugreport, but perhaps one solution would be to produce an ansible-runtime meta package or comps group that pulls in standard packages needed to run ansible locally. Otherwise I don't see how you get around what you need on a system by just installing it.
