13490	Ansible patch for epel detection and installation for epel7 and epel8	Gary Buhrmaster	Stuart Auchterlonie	"Ansible patch for epel version agnostic detection and installation of appropriate major version epel release.

(Lightly) tested with CentOS 7 and CentOS 8.

Note: CentOS 8 is still missing multiple packages in epel8 (requests for those packages are in various stages of progress), but this patch will be necessary as a supporting update.

Note: Sorry for the choice of component for the ticket, there is no ansible component in the list.


Patch follows:
