Hi,
I'm requesting to bump the version of the ansible package ("ansible-community
collection") to the last minor semantic version of the v7 series in bookworm.
This version has previously spent ~10 months in testing/unstable, so I'm fairly
confident that any potential regressions would have been caught (so far none).
[ Reason ]
This incorporates the latest bugfixes from the v7 series, which update all
modules in the collection. These contain updates to handle:
- distro releases that have been released since
- web API changes that ansible can run against
- various bugfixes
- deprecation warnings that will be useful for users before they upgrade to
bookworm + 1
Most importantly due to semantic versioning, there is no user-visible change.
Any previous playbooks will continue to work without changes.
I intend to use the 7.7.0 release as a basis for security support until bookworm
LTS EOL.
[ Impact ]
(What is the impact for the user if the update isn't approved?)
If the update is not approved, users will likely report errors that have already
been fixed in the latest minor release, and I'd have to cherrypick those
changes, add roundtrip time to the process.
[ Tests ]
autopkgtests have been widely expanded from the previous 7.3.0 release, covering
more unit tests than before.
[ Risks ]
There is a small risk of regressions, but I believe the risk to be minimal as no
such regressions have been reported in the 10 months in testing/unstable.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
- upstream update to 7.7.0
