How to add os based variables into group_vars

[sriman dharba]

Hello,

I wanted to manage repo names from group_vars based on OS type. I have a requirement to set reponames for different OS & versions like Centos/Redhat/Ubuntu with all stable versions. The goal is to manage future repo names from group_vars

My variables looks like this

group_vars/all.yml

---

rhel_5_repo: redhat-5-rpms-stable <-- name of the repo which i will use to install latest kernel patches

rhel_6_repo: redhat-6-rpms-stable

rhel_7_repo: redhat-7-rpms-stable

ubuntu_12_repo: ubuntu-12-deb-stable

I would like to use use repo keys into roles based on fact  ansible_distribution_major_version and fetch the variable from group_vars

- set_fact: repo_name="rhel_{{ ansible_distribution_major_version }}_repo"

- name: 'Upgrading packages to latest'

  yum:

     name: "*"

     state: latest

     enablerepo: "{{ repo_name }}"

  when: ansible_distribution == "RedHat" or ansible__distribution == "CentOS"

How can i achieve this..Please suggest.

Thanks

Sri

- name: 'Upgrading packages to latest'
yum:
name: "*"
state: latest

enablerepo: "{{ vars[repo_name] }}"

when: ansible_distribution == "RedHat" or ansible__distribution == "CentOS"

or just drop the set_fact and use

- name: 'Upgrading packages to latest'
yum:
name: "*"
state: latest

enablerepo: "{{ vars['repo_' ~ ansible_distribution_major_version ~ '_repo'] }}"

when: ansible_distribution == "RedHat" or ansible__distribution == "CentOS"

Thanks Kai! Came across vars & hostvars from FAQ section of ansible. Missed it, thanks for the response.
