Hi Giovanni,
Your suggestion works. But I think what I was trying to say is that
Ansible's playbook syntax is mixed. Wouldn't it be cool if it were pure
YAML, with Jinja templating? Then it would allow something like:
- hosts: myhost
tasks:
- name: install packages
yum:
name:
- tmux
- screen
{% if ansible_distribution_major_version == '6' %}
- lsof
{% endif %}
Instead of inventing ansible-specific loops, we could just use the power of
Jinja templating.
