Hi, Orion
Thanks for raising this question.
I use both ways - either ansible distro with all-inclusive, or ansible
(distro or "core") with specific collection installed separately when I
need a newer version of collection, for example. I wonder if it's
possible to continue to update collections to the newest versions anyway.
If someone wants to use the collection version provided in "big ansible",
they would use ansible 6.3.0 with all included. If they want a newer
collection, they can install a separate newest RPM.
But not sure if dependencies can be a problem here, like which collection
version depends on other collection versions (for example ansible.utils,
which is part of multiple collection dependencies).
Let me know what you think.
Thanks

So, I'm wondering if we should have some kind of (at least
semi-)coordinated plan for updating ansible collections in EPEL?
My initial thought is we would sort of piggy back on to what the
"ansible" community collection bundles on top of the ansible-core
package provided by RedHat. So, currently in EL8.7 we have:
ansible-core-2.13.3
and EPEL ships:
ansible-6.3.0 - which corresponds to the ansible community package
that ships with ansible-2.13.3.
Then we would endeavor to ship the individual package collection
versions that are contained in that package, .e.g: (taken from the
MANIFEST.json files):
ansible.posix 1.4.0
ansible.utils 2.6.1
chocolatey.chocolatey 1.3.0
community.docker 2.7.1
community.general 5.5.0
community.libvirt 1.2.0
community.mysql 3.4.0
community.rabbitmq 1.2.2
containers.podman 1.9.4
netbox.netbox 3.7.1
Sounds like a reasonable plan to me.
For reference, currently in epel we have:
...
ansible-collection-community-libvirt.noarch 1.1.0-3.el8
epel
I updated ansible-collection-community-libvirt to 1.2.0:

I don't really have a particular agenda here, just trying to solicit
people's thoughts. Personally I like minimal installs so I have been
only using ansible-core + collections on the systems I maintain and
would like to continue to see them be usable together.
I too just use ansible-core + collections on the systems I maintain.
Regards, Paul.
