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(ansible.builtin.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.
    default: "auto"
    choices: [ auto, yum, yum4, dnf ]
    type: str
    version_added: "2.7"
  name:
    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.
    aliases: [ pkg ]
    type: list
    elements: str
  exclude:
    description:
      - Package name(s) to exclude when state=present, or latest
    type: list
    elements: str
    version_added: "2.0"
  list:
    description:
      - "Package name to run the equivalent of yum list --show-duplicates <package> against. In addition to listing packages,
        use can also list the following: C(installed), C(updates), C(available) and C(repos)."
      - This parameter is mutually exclusive with C(name).
    type: str
  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.
    type: str
    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
    type: list
    elements: str
    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
    type: list
    elements: str
    version_added: "0.9"
  conf_file:
    description:
      - The remote yum configuration file to use for the transaction.
    type: str
    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

    version_added: "1.2"
  skip_broken:
    description:

        without raising an error. Equivalent to passing the --skip-broken option.
    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)
    default: "no"
    type: bool

    default: "no"
    type: bool
    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:

        installed.
    type: str
    version_added: "2.7"
  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: "no"
    version_added: "2.7"
  disable_excludes:

    version_added: "2.8"
  download_dir:
    description:
      - Specifies an alternate directory to store packages.
      - Has an effect only if I(download_only) is specified.
    type: str
    version_added: "2.8"
  install_repoquery:
    description:
      - If repoquery is not available, install yum-utils. If the system is
        registered to RHN or an RHN Satellite, repoquery allows for querying
        all channels assigned to the system. It is also required to use the
        'list' parameter.

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 hidden ids" command to see which category of group the group
    you want to install falls into.'
  - 'The yum module does not support clearing yum cache in an idempotent way, so it
    was decided not to implement it, the only method is to use command and call the yum
    command directly, namely "command: yum clean all"
