Dear all,

would anybody else find it useful to have the yum module just update  
the package cache? Instead of using a command-task calling "yum  
makecache" and getting yelled at by ansible to consider using the yum  
module instead...

Is this worth a feature request?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards,  
Johannes
