Ansible - Install a package attached to major versions

Question

The actual package name in the repo is package-2.6.12-3.el7.x86_64.

The goal is to install the package with Ansible so that:

• Make sure that a point release is installed, for example, package-2.6
• Does not install major releases such as package-3.0
• Updates for small releases, such as package-2.6.13-4

Repo may update packages from time to time, but I do not know when.

My thought was to install a package like this:

- name: Install package
  yum:
    name: package-2.6
    state: present

But the task is not completed because it is package-2.6not in the repo. While it just packageworks, but this is not future proof.

Update:

Wildcards seem to * dowork, for example package-2.6*.
