module: yum
version_added: historical
short_description: Manages packages with the I(yum) package manager
description:
     - Installs, upgrade, downgrades, removes, and lists packages and groups with the I(yum) package manager.
     - This module only works on Python 2. If you require Python 3 support see the M(dnf) module.
options:
  use_backend:
    description:
      - This module supports C(yum) (as it always has), this is known as C(yum3)/C(YUM3)/C(yum-deprecated) by
        upstream yum developers. As of Ansible 2.7+, this module also supports C(YUM4), which is the
        "new yum" and it has an C(dnf) backend.
      - By default, this module will select the backend based on the C(ansible_pkg_mgr) fact.
    required: false
    default: "auto"
    choices: [ auto, yum, yum4, dnf ]
    version_added: "2.7"
  name:
    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 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.
    aliases: [ pkg ]
  exclude:
    description:
      - Package name(s) to exclude when state=present, or latest
    version_added: "2.0"
  list:
    description:
      - "Package name to run the equivalent of yum list <package> against. In addition to listing packages,
        use can also list the following: C(installed), C(updates), C(available) and C(repos)."
  state:
    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.
    choices: [ absent, installed, latest, present, removed ]
  enablerepo:
    description:
      - I(Repoid) of repositories to enable for the install/update operation.
        These repos will not persist beyond the transaction.
        When specifying multiple repos, separate them with a C(",").
      - As of Ansible 2.7, this can alternatively be a list instead of C(",")
        separated string
    version_added: "0.9"
  disablerepo:
    description:
      - I(Repoid) of repositories to disable for the install/update operation.
        These repos will not persist beyond the transaction.
        When specifying multiple repos, separate them with a C(",").
      - As of Ansible 2.7, this can alternatively be a list instead of C(",")
        separated string
    version_added: "0.9"
  conf_file:
    description:
      - The remote yum configuration file to use for the transaction.
    version_added: "0.6"
  disable_gpg_check:
    description:
      - Whether to disable the GPG checking of signatures of packages being
        installed. Has an effect only if state is I(present) or I(latest).
    type: bool
    default: "no"
    version_added: "1.2"
  skip_broken:
    description:
      - Skip packages with broken dependencies(devsolve) and are causing problems.
    type: bool
    default: "no"
    version_added: "2.3"
  update_cache:
    description:
      - Force yum to check if cache is out of date and redownload if needed.
        Has an effect only if state is I(present) or I(latest).
    type: bool
    default: "no"
    aliases: [ expire-cache ]
    version_added: "1.9"
  validate_certs:
    description:
      - This only applies if using a https url as the source of the rpm. e.g. for localinstall. If set to C(no), the SSL certificates will not be validated.
      - This should only set to C(no) used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates as it avoids verifying the source site.
      - Prior to 2.1 the code worked as if this was set to C(yes).
    type: bool
    default: "yes"
    version_added: "2.1"

  update_only:
    description:
      - When using latest, only update installed packages. Do not install packages.
      - Has an effect only if state is I(latest)
    required: false
    default: "no"
    type: bool
    version_added: "2.5"

  installroot:
    description:
      - Specifies an alternative installroot, relative to which all packages
        will be installed.
    default: "/"
    version_added: "2.3"
  security:
    description:
      - If set to C(yes), and C(state=latest) then only installs updates that have been marked security related.
    type: bool
    default: "no"
    version_added: "2.4"
  bugfix:
    description:
      - If set to C(yes), and C(state=latest) then only installs updates that have been marked bugfix related.
    required: false
    default: "no"
    version_added: "2.6"
  allow_downgrade:
    description:
      - Specify if the named package and version is allowed to downgrade
        a maybe already installed higher version of that package.
        Note that setting allow_downgrade=True 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).
    type: bool
    default: "no"
    version_added: "2.4"
  enable_plugin:
    description:
      - I(Plugin) name to enable for the install/update operation.
        The enabled plugin will not persist beyond the transaction.
    required: false
    version_added: "2.5"
  disable_plugin:
    description:
      - I(Plugin) name to disable for the install/update operation.
        The disabled plugins will not persist beyond the transaction.
    required: false
    version_added: "2.5"
  releasever:
    description:
      - Specifies an alternative release from which all packages will be
        installed.
    required: false
    version_added: "2.7"
    default: null
  autoremove:
    description:
      - If C(yes), removes all "leaf" packages from the system that were originally
        installed as dependencies of user-installed packages but which are no longer
        required by any such package. Should be used alone or when state is I(absent)
      - "NOTE: This feature requires yum >= 3.4.3 (RHEL/CentOS 7+)"
    type: bool
    default: false
    version_added: "2.7"
  disable_excludes:
    description:
      - Disable the excludes defined in YUM config files.
      - If set to C(all), disables all excludes.
      - If set to C(main), disable excludes defined in [main] in yum.conf.
      - If set to C(repoid), disable excludes defined for given repo id.
    required: false
    version_added: "2.7"
  download_only:
    description:
      - Only download the packages, do not install them.
    required: false
    default: "no"
    type: bool
    version_added: "2.7"
notes:
  - When used with a `loop:` each package will be processed individually,
    it is much more efficient to pass the list directly to the `name` option.
  - In versions prior to 1.9.2 this module installed and removed each package
    given to the yum module separately. This caused problems when packages
    specified by filename or url had to be installed or removed together. In
    1.9.2 this was fixed so that packages are installed in one yum
    transaction. However, if one of the packages adds a new yum repository
    that the other packages come from (such as epel-release) then that package
    needs to be installed in a separate task. This mimics yum's command line
    behaviour.
  - 'Yum itself has two types of groups.  "Package groups" are specified in the
    rpm itself while "environment groups" are specified in a separate file
    (usually by the distribution).  Unfortunately, this division becomes
    apparent to ansible users because ansible needs to operate on the group
    of packages in a single transaction and yum requires groups to be specified
    in different ways when used in that way.  Package groups are specified as
    "@development-tools" and environment groups are "@^gnome-desktop-environment".
    Use the "yum group list" command to see which category of group the group
    you want to install falls into.'
