So if I set the fact as follows:
- name: Set package facts
set_fact:
packages: "{{ ansible_facts.packages|dictsort }}"
How would I traverse that in my template?:
{% for v in hostvars[i]['packages'] %}
{% for pkg in v.value %}
Package: {{ pkg.name }} Version: {{ pkg.version}} Arch: {{ pkg.arch }}
Release: {{ pkg.release }}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Thanks,
Harry
