An Ansible module for installing AUR packages via the pacaur AUR helper.

This assumes your target node already has pacaur and its dependecies installed.

• Arch Linux (Obviously)
• jshon for pacaur
• pacaur

1. Clone this repo
2. Copy or link the pacaur file into your global Ansible library (usually /usr/share/ansible) or into the ./library folder 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).

More detailed docs are on the way, but in general:

• name - required, name of the AUR package to install
• recurse - optional, yes/no, whether to recursively remove packages. See pacman module docs
• state - optional, present/absent, whether the package needs to be installed or not

# Install package foo
- pacaur: name=foo state=present

# Remove packages foo and bar
- pacaur: name=foo,bar state=absent

# Recursively remove package baz
- pacaur: name=baz state=absent recurse=yes

• Add inline, ansible-doc compatible documentation
• ???
