Seth implemented a very nice yum module for installing packages. (Thanks, Seth!)

Usage is listed on the examples page and the modules page, but in short:

# package should be the latest version in the yum repo

ansible webservers -m yum pkg=cobbler state=latest

# package should be a specific version

ansible webservers -m yum pkg=acme-2.0 state=installed

# package should not be installed

ansible webservers -m yum pkg=acme state=removed

# any version should be installed

ansible webservers -m yum pkg=acme state=installed

There are also various list commands as documented on the module page.

Try it out from the latest source code pull.
