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

1. Clone this repo
2. Copy or link the yay file into your global Ansible library (usually /usr/share/ansible) or into the ./library folder 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.
update_cache	no	no	yes/no	Whether or not to refresh the master package lists. This can be run as part of a package installation or as a separate step.
