name:
aliases:
- pkg
description:
- A package name or package specifier with version, like C(name-1.0).
- Comparison operators for package version are valid here C(>), C(<), C(>=), C(<=).
Example - 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 C('*') 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 string of packages
or (as of 2.0) a list of packages.

choices:

description:
- Whether to install (C(present) or C(installed), C(latest)), or remove (C(absent)
or C(removed)) a package.
- C(present) and C(installed) will simply ensure that a desired package is installed.
- C(latest) will update the specified package if it's not of the latest available
version.
- C(absent) and C(removed) will remove the specified package.
- Default is C(None), however in effect the default action is C(present) unless the
C(autoremove) option is enabled for this module, then C(absent) is inferred.
