Description
Some of the bulkier, and more awkward, components of installing awx are ansible itself. You're very welcome to my RPM building tools for RHEL 7 and RHEL 8 based operating systems, over at:
https://github.com/nkadel/ansiblerepo/ .
I'm going to restrain my comments on the split of "ansible" and "ansible-core". Suffice to say that there is no point to installing the half a gig of deployed ansible galaxy modules in the "ansible" package, and that the ansible python modules and scripts are now actually in the "ansible-core" tarball and matching RPM. ansible-core 2.11, reliant on python 3.6, works well on RHEL 7 and RHEL 8. It's possible, though awkward, to use the available python 3.8 for RHEL 8 do do pip install for that package, but building the matching python38-ansible-core RPM requires an unwelcome chain of dependencies which are not stable for RHEL 8.
I've raised these issues in the ansible developer mailing list, In the meantime, you're quite welcome to my work to provide the ansible dependencies for awx use.
