ansible-yay

An Ansible module for installing AUR packages via the yay AUR helper.

This assumes your target node already has yay and its dependecies installed.

Dependencies (Managed Node)

Installation

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Copy or link the yay file into your global Ansible library (usually /usr/share/ansible) or into the ./library folder alongside your top-level playbook

Usage

Pretty much identical to the pacman module. Note that package status, removal, the corresponding pacman commands are used (-Q, -R, respectively).

Options

parameter required default choices description
name no Name of the AUR package to install.
recurse no no yes/no Whether to recursively remove packages. See pacman module docs.
state no no absent/present/latest Whether the package needs to be installed or updated.
update_cache no no yes/no Whether or not to refresh the master package lists. This can be run as part of a package installation or as a separate step.
upgrade no no yes/no Whether or not to upgrade the whole systemd.

Examples

# Install package foo
- yay: name=foo state=present

# Ensure package fuzz is installed and up-to-date
- yay: name=fuzz state=latest

# Remove packages foo and bar
- yay: name=foo,bar state=absent

# Recursively remove package baz
