# it is possible to ask for variables from the user at the start

# of a playbook run, for example, as part of a release script.

# alternatively, they can ALSO be passed in from the outside:

# prompted variables are a list of variable names and a description
|
|
# that will be presented to the user, or a list of variable dictionaries
|
|
# with the following accepted keys / value types:
|
|
# 'name' / text
|
|
# 'prompt' / text (optional)
|
|
# 'private' / boolean (optional)

# a package version to use with the yum module.
