epel-release yum will fail by default, about ansible-role-nginx

[jdauphant]

Hello @techzilla ,
thanks for the report.
Can you give more details ? like output log, role version, system version.

TASK [jdauphant.nginx : Install the epel packages for EL distributions] ********
task path: [blah-blah]/roles/jdauphant.nginx/tasks/installation.packages.yml:2

to retry, use: --limit @/home/gardnerj/pipeline/playbooks/site.retry

Role version is 2.8? (latest from galaxy, commit 5d1c494)
CentOS release 6.6

Thanks for the details.

@huxoll @techzilla You can set nginx_install_epel_repo to False, it may work as a temporary fix.
I don't know this system family, I will need someone else to explore that

And nginx_official_repo to True apparently also for the temporary fix.

In my case, it was user error. The yum sources were munged on the box, and nothing could install; nginx was just the first attempt.

Sorry for the noise.
