Hey, I'd recommend you read fully through the 'Getting Started <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_getting_started.html>' guide, and carry on reading through the other docs - reading these and implementing/playing with what they teach is the quickest, most efficient way to learn.
That said, if the RPMs you're talking about are hosted in a repository, you can use the 'yum' module (or 'package', if you're running Ansible 2.0 - not yet released). See here <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/yum_module.html> for the yum modules documentation, it has a 'state' value. Setting this to 'latest' would do what you're wanting to achieve, like so: - name: Ensure packages are installed and the latest available version yum: name=some_package state=latest Or, for a list of packages: - name: Ensure packages are installed and the latest available version yum: name="{{ item }}" state=latest with_items: - some_package - some_other_package - a_third_package This example shows iterating over a list of values, using 'with_items'. <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_loops.html> Hope this helps - make sure you read through the docs and try and learn these things yourself :) Kind Regards, Calum On Tuesday, 15 December 2015 04:40:52 UTC, 张斌 wrote: > > > hi, > > i'm new to ansible. i want to install a list of RPMs, and upgrade if > already installed, otherwise just install it. > > How to do this with ansible? > > Thanks > On Tuesday, 15 December 2015 04:40:52 UTC, 张斌 wrote: > > > hi, > > i'm new to ansible. i want to install a list of RPMs, and upgrade if > already installed, otherwise just install it. > > How to do this with ansible? > > Thanks > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
