ansible-role-powertools's Issues

Broken repo path

The current master branch is not working as the repo path is not existing.

Further, for AlmaLinux 9 the name of the repo changed from powertools to crb. See: https://wiki.almalinux.org/repos/AlmaLinux.html

Add support for AlmaLinux

Proposed feature

Add support for AlmaLinux.

Additional context

ansible-role-powertools/tasks/main.yml

Line 14 in a00c164

- ansible_distribution in [ "CentOS", "EL" ]

This should either include AlmaLinux or it can be solved by checking the ansible_os_family instead. (AlmaLinux is in the RedHat family)

Wrong repo filename for Rocky8

Describe the bug

The role uses the wrong repo filename for Rocky8. The powertools_repo_file is assigned by line https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-powertools/blob/master/vars/main.yml#L13, which generates filename Rocky-powertools.repo, which is not correct. The repo filename present in Rocky 8.6 image is Rocky-PowerTools.repo

This can be fixed easily by adding a new key for Rocky in _powertools_repo_file variable, if you are interested, I could make PR.
