ansible-role-exiftool's Issues

Upgrades are broken

When exiftool is installed, the module does not upgrade it. This is because the module only checks for the existence of the exiftool command, and does not compare the version number of the installed command with the desired version.

Add tests

We should add molecule tests to this role.
