Third option, which I've done in a module for my own use: have an
"extra_yum_flags" option which can take a dictionary as an argument:
- yum:
state: installed
name: mypkg
extra_yum_flags:
foo: bar
bam: baz
red_hat: is an operating system
In my module I also happened to allow the extra argument to be taken as
a string. You'll have to do something like prepending '--' to all the
keys in the dict and replacing '_' with '-' or somesuch, but this is
doable.
For my money, the "extra_yum_flag='--foo bar --bam baz" option seems the
simplest. It's not too much code, however, to notice if the argument is
a dict and deal with it appropriately. In my code, I did:
def parse_extra_args(args):
parsed_args = ''
if isinstance(args, dict):
for k, v in args.iteritems():
parsed_args += '--' + k.replace('_', '-') + ' ' + v
elif isinstance(args, basestring):
parsed_args = args
return parsed_args
Also, you shouldn't need to parse the parameters if they're provided in
a string, no? Just pass then straight onto the yum command:
cmd = yum_basecmd + [extra_yum_args, 'install', pkg]
Or what have you.
