Is there a Focal (ubuntu 20.04) ppa for Ansible?

basictheprogram opened this issue · comments

The ubuntu2004/ansible.sh provisioner script is throwing the error

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu focal Release' does not have a Release file.

https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible-2.9 says there's no focal release for 2.9?

https://launchpad.net/~ansible/+archive/ubuntu/ansible says there's no focal release at all?

Please see / follow: ansible/ansible#68645

It seems that there won't be a Focal release for at least some amount of time... I'm currently using pip3 to install Ansible on 20.04.

Looks like ansible-2.9 is a native package in Focal

https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ansible

As referenced issue is closed to comment, can you please consider updating documentation ?

I'm not sure why the issues are closed so unceremoniously for now, but in any case, I don't know where you'd like me to put any documentation? I like installing via Pip.

It would be useful to have a PPA for 20.04 now that 19.10 is EOL.

This is not the issue to track Ansible's support for 20.04 in their PPA. See PR ansible/ansible#69161

Well the lack of the PPA for ansible broke vagrant ansible_local and geerlingguy.ansible role on ubuntu 20.04 if I'm not mistaken.

@bayeslearner - I think you might be able to set Vagrant to install via pip instead of packages though, in your Vagrantfile. See the install_mode option.
