and C(repos).'
name:
aliases:
- pkg
description:
- A package name , or package specifier with version, like C(name-1.0).
- If a previous version is specified, the task also needs to turn C(allow_downgrade)
on. See the C(allow_downgrade) documentation for caveats with downgrading packages.
- When using state=latest, this can be '*' which means run C(yum -y update).
- You can also pass a url or a local path to a rpm file (using state=present). To
operate on several packages this can accept a comma separated list of packages or
(as of 2.0) a list of packages.

can make this module behave in a non-idempotent way. The task could end up with
a set of packages that does not match the complete list of specified packages to
install (because dependencies between the downgraded package and others can cause
changes to the packages which were in the earlier transaction).
