Ansible 2.20 has deprecated the use of Ansible facts as variables. For
example, ansible_distribution is now deprecated in favor of
ansible_facts["distribution"]. This is due to making the default
setting INJECT_FACTS_AS_VARS=false. For now, this will create WARNING
messages, but in Ansible 2.24 it will be an error.

In order to ensure that commits and PRs conform to this, use
ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS=false by default in our CI testing.

Update README-ostree.md if needed.

Summary by Sourcery

Adopt Ansible's non-injected facts usage in CI and documentation to prepare for upcoming deprecations.

CI:

  • Set ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS=false in GitHub Actions integration tests and TFT workflow to align CI runs with Ansible 2.20+ behavior.

Documentation:

  • Update README-ostree to reference ansible_facts["distribution"] and ansible_facts["distribution_version"] instead of deprecated fact variables.

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:

  • In the workflows, qemu-kvm-integration-tests sets ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS directly while tft.yml passes SR_ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS; consider standardizing how this is wired through (or adding a brief inline note) so it's clear where the actual ANSIBLE_INJECT_FACT_VARS environment variable is ultimately set for Ansible.
