  gather_facts: true
  # vars:
  #   example_var: "value"

    # - role: mullholland.repository_codereadybuilder
    #   when:
    #     - (ansible_distribution == "RedHat" and ansible_distribution_major_version == "8") or
    #       (ansible_distribution == "CentOS" and ansible_distribution_major_version == "9")
    - role: mullholland.repository_powertools
      when:
        - ansible_distribution in [ "CentOS", "Rocky", "AlmaLinux" ]
        - ansible_distribution_major_version == "8"
