Need Help for Install/Upgrade/Downgrade

I want to use simple single task for install/upgrade/downgrade . All 3 cases , I want to handle in one task:
Currently I use 2 tasks:
For Install:

  • name: Install RPMs
    yum:
    name: ‘{{ rpm_list }}’
    state: ‘latest’
    enablerepo: ‘{{ my_repos_names }}’
    disable_gpg_check: ‘{{ my_allow_unsigned_rpms }}’
    update_cache: ‘{{ my_update_cache }}’
    environment: “{{ proxy_env }}”

For upgrade/downgrade I rely on calling below from shell module:

  • name: “Performing Distribution Synchronization”
    shell: yum distro-sync -y --disablerepo=“{{repo_to_disable|default(‘*’)}}” --enablerepo=“{{ Repo_to_enable}}”
    Since distro-sync option of yum works on already installed rpms.( Yum does not have anything for downgrading cases , already some issues on this on github)

How i can achieve all 3 operations from single task, any idea ?

What are your objectives to do it in one task?

I am trying to see if this 2 tasks can be optimized or written in single task . Nothing special , just for redundant purpose.

Unless you are going to write your own Ansible module, this doesn't make sense to me.
