Thank you for the help.
sorry I had corrected the yum download portion (see below), but did not
update here. the below solves the download only part.
I need to be able to download it to a directory as I am not always going to
be online to access repositories. I will be online at one point to get the
files, but in the future may not as I switch between builds. I just do not
know how to structure the when statement for downloading only when the file
is not there.
- name: Download RPMs
yum:
name: "{{ rpms }}"
state: present
enablerepo: "*"
download_dir: /home/pvs/Build/data/
download_only: true
when: file_stat.stat.exists == False
