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.
