+      - Comparison operators for package version are valid here C(>), C(<), C(>=), C(<=). Example - C(name>=1.0)
+      - If a previous version is specified, the task also needs to turn C(allow_downgrade) on.
+        See the C(allow_downgrade) documentation for caveats with downgrading packages.
+      - When using state=latest, this can be C('*') which means run C(yum -y update).
+      - You can also pass a url or a local path to a rpm file (using state=present).
+        To operate on several packages this can accept a comma separated string of packages or (as of 2.0) a list of packages.
