Feature Summary

I would like to see an ascender collection be released. Currently if you use awx.awx you will get warnings like [WARNING]: You are running collection version 24.6.1 but connecting to AWX version 25.3.5

Also I think there are some fixes in https://github.com/ansible/awx/commits/devel/awx_collection that are worth pulling

Sugested feature result

ascender collection found, with a tagged version corresponding to the ascender release

Additional information

maybe it can even answer module calls to the old awx.awx namespace? Not sure if that is allowed on the galaxy side of things.

Yes, it has long been on the ToDo list, but hasn't been a priority up to this point, as its just a warning. I will work with the team to set a higher priority on it.

Hey Ascender Team.
Thanks for all the amazing work you do on the Ascender project.
While Ascender does an amazing job, AWX collection ist part of the work we do.
Since I am doing consulting with OpenSouce products like foreman and ascender, ... I would also like to donate few hundred bucks to this project. And if others would do also, this would be a way to go?
If you are willing to go this way, I will spread this news?
Just call me, Im here.

Thanks Chris

As the project is already Sponsored by CIQ, I don't believe any donations are warranted. What we really need is help getting the word out about the project. We are starting to gain traction, which is nice, but sadly still not a lot of people have heard about the project.

So we started, sharing is caring ... linkedin is not a dev tool, but you can reach out huge amount of people ...
