The new "ansible" tarball from pypi.org has 145 distinct software licenses, and many distinct galaxy collection published ansible modules. The new "ansible-core" tarball is much smaller, even smaller than the old "ansible" package due to some bulky modules being transferred to the galaxy collection. Splitting off the variety of add-on modules makes sense. Replacing the core package with the add-on modules and moving aside the core seems exactly backwards. _______________________________________________ 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
