RelEng: ansible

The Ansible Package for 2.10 and beyond consists of a dependency on ansible-2.10 and the contents of several collections on galaxy.

Procedure

# Note: python-3.6+ is needed

python3 -m pip install ansibulled

# Setup steps for building a new major release:
git clone [email protected]:ansible-community/ansible-build-data
mkdir ansible-build-data/2.11
# Copy from previous version
cp ansible-build-data/2.10/acd.in ansible-build-data/2.11
mkdir built

# Generate the list of compatible versions.  Intended to be run when we feature freeze
ansibulled new-acd 2.11.0 --dest-dir ansible-build-data/2.11

# Create a single tarball for ansible with a dep on the ansible-base package
ansibulled build-single 2.11.0 --build-file ansible-build-data/2.11/acd-2.10.build --deps-file ansible-build-data/2.11/acd-2.11.0.deps --dest-dir built

# Record the files used to build:
cd ansible-build-data/2.11
git add acd-2.11.build acd-2.11.0.deps
git commit -m 'Collection dependency information for ansible 2.11.x and ansible-2.11.0'
git push

# Then we can test installation with pip:
python -m pip install --user built/ansible-2.10.0.tar.gz
# Upload to testpypi
# Test that this works
# (Note, somewhat insecure as packages in test.pypi may not match with what is on pypi.org.  Suggest
# doing this in a transient container.  Need to figure out a better way to smoketest.)
python -m pip install --upgrade --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple ansible
