I hate working with Ansible and Jinja. Is there some set of filters that will take a list of dictionaries like this and work without making Ansible loop and do multiple transactions per host?
No need to mess around with jinja2 filters, name can either be a single string or a list of strings, and version can be omitted in any entry you want if you don't want to define it for that loop item.
@jborean there’s no version argument to the package, yum, or dnf modules. I can do this with a loop, though. I was wondering if there was a way to do it without the loop.
@jborean I can also stick the loop on a set_fact and make a union of all the iterations before using that fact as the name argument to package which has some benefits, can be run_once, only one call to the package manager…
