ansible-yay
An Ansible module for installing AUR packages via the yay AUR helper.
This assumes your target node already has yay and its dependecies installed.
Dependencies (Managed Node)
- Arch Linux (Obviously)
- yay
Installation
- Clone this repo
- Copy or link the
yayfile into your global Ansible library (usually/usr/share/ansible) or into the./libraryfolder alongside your top-level playbook
Usage
Pretty much identical to the pacman module. Note that package
status, removal, the corresponding pacman commands are used (-Q, -R,
respectively).
Options
| parameter | required | default | choices | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | no | Name of the AUR package to install. | ||
| recurse | no | no | yes/no | Whether to recursively remove packages. See pacman module docs. |
| state | no | no | absent/present/latest | Whether the package needs to be installed or updated. |
