❯ ansible-lint --version  
ansible-lint 24 using ansible-core:2.16.12 ansible-compat:24.9.0 ruamel-yaml:0.18.5 ruamel-yaml-clib:0.2.7

Is there a way to acknowledge the warning of using state:latest without using only\_upgrade flag ?

using this as a full system upgrade command which wasn’t explored in the linter webpage, but is the recommended way to do full system upgrade in ansible doc

You can skip this check, eg in `.ansible-lint`:

```yaml
---
skip_list:
  - package-latest

```

Or just for the one task:

```yaml
- name: Latest foo present # noqa package-latest
  apt:
    pkg:
      - foo
    state: latest

```

Yes.  
In the [configuration file](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/lint/configuring/#ansible-lint-configuration) for ansible-lint:

```yaml
$ cat .config/ansible-lint.yml
---
skip_list
  - package-latest

```

Or at task level with noqa:

```yaml
    - name: Install.
    # noqa: package-latest
      ansible.builtin.apt:
        name: apache2
        state: latest

```
