Hi,

I’m trying to install a rpm file on my remote hosts. The file is present on the controller. How should I proceed to do that ? I tried using a combination of copying the file, then installing it with yum, then removing the temporary rpm file to clean it up, but is this the recommended way to proceed ? It has the side effect of showing there are always “changed=2” (copy+remove) in the ansible logs…

Thanks.
