packages_os	{}	Defines packages to be installed/uninstalled. The packages are defined by grouping them by the key `all` or for a key following the format `distro`_`version`. See `Notes` below and `Example playbook`.

Notes:

Inside packages_os, the packages grouped on distro_version have predecende over the packages grouped in all. Therefore, if for example you declare:

  packages_os:
    all:
      vim: present
    centos_7:
      vim: absent

the vim package will not be installed on any centos_7 host of the group you have declared this variable in.

Dependencies

None.
