Hi Christian,
I didn't get how did you do the OS specific package installation. I've
ended up with a temporary solution:
- name: install python-passlib
action: "{{ ansible_pkg_mgr }} name={{ item.name }}"
with_items:
- { os: Gentoo, name: dev-python/passlib }
when: ansible_os_family == item.os
But I do like the way you've shown. Could I possibly ask you to give me an
example with the 'action' module? And should it work in ansible 1.9?
