Problem:
When using the CentOS extras repo, not EPEL, the Ansible package name is always
ansible
. The current behaviour assumes that the package name includes the major and minor version number, when you're trying to pin at a particular version.i.e.
yum install ansible2.3-2.3.0.0
vsyum install ansible-2.3.0.0
Solution:
To allow an older version of Ansible to be installed, from the CentOS extras repo, whilst maintaining current behavior; A new config option has been added
ansible_package_name
, which when combined withansible_version
will address the problem above.
