[anisible]Install package

[Prady A]

Hi folks 

I want to optimize the code here

Existing code:

package: 

     name: “{{ item }}”

     state: present

with_items:

   - vim

   - lvm2 

   - xyz

when: is_USA

Now I don’t want to install xyz PACKAGE for RHEL 9 server only then I ve to rewrite the separate code for xyz package like below or any optimization is possible in the existing code 

———

package: 

     name: “{{ item }}”

     state: present

with_items:

   - xyz

when: 

    - is_USA

    - ansible_distribution_major_version| int <=9 

——-

Here's my solution. Whether you wish to go there is a different question.

---
- name: Prady A example 1
  hosts: localhost
  vars:
    is_usa: true
  tasks:
    - name: Install packages with logical list
      ansible.builtin.package:
        # requires "ansible-galaxy collection install utoddl.logical"
        name: "{{ rpms | utoddl.logical.logical }}"
        state: present
      vars:
        rpms:
          - vim
          - lvm2
          - if:
              - and:
                  - "{{ is_usa }}"
                  - "{{ ansible_distribution_major_version | int <= 9 }}"
              - xyz

See https://galaxy.ansible.com/utoddl/logical for details and examples.
