[Vote ended on 2022-01-26] Establishing the roadmap for Ansible 6.0.0 #56
Comments
Agreed with the first 3 items. Could you please elaborate a bit more on the 4th one? |
For I would like to do it for the ansible package itself to ensure that what we are shipping isn't broken but it's also a common practice in RPM packaging to have a %check section that runs unit or integration tests to sanity check that the built package works properly. I don't think there is a precedent for running ansible-test in RPM packaging and I don't know to what extent we could do something like pull in Docker, container images, etc. for testing purposes. We don't need to run every unit/integration test but any coverage we can get is an improvement over the nothing we have right now. |
Ah, got it now, thanks for explaining. |
I created a roadmap proposal with dates and some planned work, so we have something to discuss: ansible/ansible#76772 (I tried to align the date intervals from the Ansible 5 roadmap to the ansible-core 2.13 dates.) |
+1 to ansible/ansible#76772 |
We discussed this at today's meeting, and decided to vote on the WIP PR (ansible/ansible#76772). Since we want the roadmap established ASAP, the vote will end in one week. Please note that the collection inclusion dates will probably be mostly removed / adjusted depending on how the disucssion on #63 turns out. In case we keep the old process, the current dates in the roadmap are similar to the ones from the previous roadmap. So: please vote on the roadmap PR ansible/ansible#76772 here by writing +1 for approving it and -1 for rejecting it! |

@ansible-community/steering-committee please do not forget to vote on this one! The vote closes in two days, and so far only two/three/four (depending on how you count the implicit votes) of us voted. |
+1 |
Apologies, I thought I had voted on this one! Thanks, Felix, for the reminder, 😄 |
+1 you're not alone @jillr , i join your thanks to Felix:) |
+1 for the timeline. |
+1 |
Vote count: 8 x +1 from steering committee members (@gundalow @felixfontein @tadeboro @briantist @jillr @Andersson007 @acozine @jamescassell), no other votes. So we accepted ansible/ansible#76772 and want to have it merged. Can someone confirm? |
Confirmed. I see 8 |
8 x +1 from SC, no votes against (Community & SC) |
Thanks everyone! Then we can continue the original discussion in this issue :) |
A first (non-WIP) PR for Ansible 6: ansible-community/antsibull-build#394 disables the collision checks for Ansible 2.9 / ansible-base 2.10, so we can finally ship wheels for Ansible 6! (Edit: Merged by now.) |
Another (non-WIP) PR for Ansible 6: ansible-community/antsibull-build#395 actually builds wheels for Ansible6+. Should be merged together with the previous one :) (Edit: Merged by now.) |
I created #65 to discuss which files should actually be excluded from the Ansible 6 install. If you have opinions / wishes on that, please comment :) |
Note that the first alpha release of Ansible 6 is planned in 6 weeks (see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/docs/docsite/rst/roadmap/COLLECTIONS_6.rst#release-schedule). This means we have to hurry up a bit with #70 and #65 so we can get ansible-community/antsibull-build#342 (or something similar) finished and approved before the first alpha. Let's discuss this a bit at tomorrow's meeting, or write some comments here on how we should proceed. |
One suggestion: wait until the end of this week for further feedback on #70. Assuming there has been no opposition to #70, start a vote on:
If the vote runs for two weeks, we still have three weeks to implement the results. |
Regarding 1: I've also announced this in today's Bullhorn. Let's wait for a week, and if nobody pointed out problems their collection in Ansible has with the proposal, let's vote on it. Regarding 2: there seems to be a clear winner, if this doesn't change I'll create a vote for it next week (#65 (comment)). |
The roadmap is there, and at least the planned work we put in there is done. We can create new issues for new topics related to 6.0.0, so closing this one. |
Summary
Now that ansible 5.0 is behind us, we need to have a roadmap for ansible 6.0.
samccann kindly prepared a blank roadmap over which we need to set dates or adjust based on our needs and expectations: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/docs/docsite/rst/roadmap/COLLECTIONS_6.rst
Beyond the usual roadmap where we define when to expect the release 6.0, I wanted to do a bit of a braindump of technical things that I would like to see happen during this cycle. These are not necessarily up for debate and may end up being split into their own issues where appropriate, it's just a single place where I'm writing these down for now.
I may add items to this list but in the meantime, in no particular order and at a high level:
