• Re: quick update on the ansible ecosystem

    Thanks for the update and your maintenance work! I like your plan for keeping it
    up to date. I'm trying to do the same with some of the packages I work on. I would like to see more packages getting stable updates directly from upstream when upstream puts out conservative stable bug fix releases.

    Lee Garrett:
    Hi everyone,

    thought I'd just give a quick update about ansible and the packages around it in
    regard to the trixie release. ansible ("ansible-core") 2.19 will come with a nice data tagging feature [0] that will prevent a class of security vulnerabilities going forward. It's included in  2.19.0~beta1-2 which is currently in sid. I intend to track the 2.19 release during the trixie point releases.

    This currently breaks a few things, notably autopkgtests of the packages ansible, ansible-lint and python-mitogen.

    For ansible I have already uploaded 12.0.0~a1+dfsg-1 which addresses these issues.

    ansible-lint will be fixed in the upcoming ansible beta2. [1]

    I have reported the issue in ansible-mitogen to upstream, and will quilt patch
    the missing function back in if it's not been addressed by upstream. [2]

    Happy hacking!
    Lee
