notes:
  - When used with a loop of package names in a playbook, ansible optimizes
    the call to the yum module.  Instead of calling the module with a single
    package each time through the loop, ansible calls the module once with all
    of the package names from the loop.
  - In versions prior to 1.9.2 this module installed and removed each package
    given to the yum module separately. This caused problems when packages
    specified by filename or url had to be installed or removed together. In
    1.9.2 this was fixed so that packages are installed in one yum
    transaction. However, if one of the packages adds a new yum repository
    that the other packages come from (such as epel-release) then that package
    needs to be installed in a separate task. This mimics yum's command line
    behaviour.
  - 'Yum itself has two types of groups.  "Package groups" are specified in the
    rpm itself while "environment groups" are specified in a separate file
    (usually by the distribution).  Unfortunately, this division becomes
    apparent to ansible users because ansible needs to operate on the group
    of packages in a single transaction and yum requires groups to be specified
    in different ways when used in that way.  Package groups are specified as
    "@development-tools" and environment groups are "@^gnome-desktop-environment".
    Use the "yum group list" command to see which category of group the group
    you want to install falls into.'
