[ansible-project] facts module output in setup?

Hello! Is it possible to get a fact module to be included in the output for the setup module using ansible, i.e. not from a play? Perhaps I'm not asking this question correctly . . . I would like to extend setup to retrieve info about my servers so that running 'ansible -m setup host' would

Re: [ansible-project] Feature: User-defined modules as yaml task lists?

Hi Jan In terms of unified package management, I believe this is a direction that the Ansible project decided not to go in. I think the cleanest way from a playbook perspective would be to write your own module. But think about how much this might involve, noting that apt, yum, pacman et al don't
