An Ansible Role that installs a set of predefined packages on the host.
[TOC]
None.
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):
packages:
- zsh
- mosh
- rsync
- vim
The optional variable packages defines the list of packages to be installed.
Each item can also be a mapping; in this case, there should be a key all which is the fallback name
for all package managers. Using the package manager name as key
you can define an alternative package name for that specific package manager.
Using '' as a value for a package manager skips this package for that package manager.
These are variables internally created by the role. Please do not use them in your code.
_packages_selected_raw
The internal variable _packages_selected_raw contains a string of comma separated package names taken from the packages variable.
_packages_selected
The internal variable _packages_selected contains a list of package names taken from the _packages_selected_raw variable.
