I have a situation where I need to be able to disable all repos and enable my custom yum repo.

I’m trying to use the yum module w/ “disablerepo=\*” and \* doesn’t seem to be passed to the command line.

- name: always update corp-base  
yum: disablerepo=\* enablerepo=corp-base-noarch  
state=latest name=$bootstrap\_rpm

None of the repos are disabled. Is there some other way to pass “all” into the module?
