An Ansible module for installing AUR packages via the yay AUR helper.
This assumes your target node already has yay and its dependecies installed.
- Arch Linux (Obviously)
- yay
- Clone this repo
- Copy or link the
yayfile into your global Ansible library (usually/usr/share/ansible) or into the./libraryfolder alongside your top-level playbook
Pretty much identical to the pacman module. Note that package
status, removal, the corresponding pacman commands are used (-Q, -R,
respectively).
