I wrote to the various upstream bugtrackers about this already. The re-org upstream is confusing and unwelcome, and creates a stack of problems. I would publish ansible-core as just that, with a "Provides: ansible %{version{-%{release}" and even "Obsoletes: ansible >= %{version}". The new pypi.org tarball published as "ansible" isn't. It's a tarball of components from the Ansible galaxy collection, and it is unnecessary for the basic ansible-core operation, which are much bulkier than the previous "ansible" and contains approximately 145 distinct software licenses. That.... is a sign of a packaging problem that I've discussed on the pypi.org issues pages, at The new "ansible" labeled pypi.org module has no full provenance I've been able to find. It assembles a number of distinct galaxy collection published re[ps from https://github.com/orgs/ansible-community/, but assembled without any reference tool that I can find or detect any documentation for. I'd say that this is messy and not ready for bundling, and hope that its authors can clean this up. Given choices I'd publish the "ansible_collections" tarball as just such an RPM, since it is installed in /usr/lib/python3.[subversion]/site-packages/ansible_collections/ and should have been labeled that way. The "ansible" package could be a meta package with "Requires: ansible-core ansible_collections" to avoid the versioning confusion. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
