Ansible: Which Repo?
What would you recommend: ansible is in EPEL8 and ConfigSIG. For the latter I do not see any sources in git.CentOS.org. Where they come from?
I wonder with which repository I should use (long term)?
dnf not checking gpg signature sounds scary:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.9.13/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.9.rst#security-fixes

Hi Leon,
For ConfigManagement SIG, I use directly upstream src.rpm (available on https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/). and 2.9.13 was rebuilt directly on the day it was announced
(https://cbs.CentOS.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=30563 and https://cbs.CentOS.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=30564) , quick sanity test and then signed/pushed out to mirror.CentOS.org (and so external mirrors too, as usual)
With the upcoming changes for 2.10 and Ansible deciding to not provide pkgs anymore, I guess I’ll rebase on good work done by Kevin (ansible pkg maintainer in Fedora/Epel) but probably trying to track various branches (like we do for 2.7/2.8/2.9 for people deciding to stay on a branch/version as long as it’s supported upstream)
See blog post about the switch:

Hi Fabian, thanks for the input.
Yeah, Kevin catched up and epel-testing has the current version now.
I was not aware of the mentioned ansible plans but until its related for the common admin the 2.9-branch has still maintenance support [*]. But this splitting makes packaging harder now.
Anyway, the big picture is clearer now. Thanks.
