--- features: - The os_nova role now supports the ability to configure whether apt/yum tasks install the latest available package, or just ensure that the package is present. The default action is to ensure that the latest package is present. The action taken may be changed to only ensure that the package is present by setting ``nova_package_state`` to ``present``. upgrade: - The os_nova role always checks whether the latest package is installed when executed. If a deployer wishes to change the check to only validate the presence of the package, the option ``nova_package_state`` should be set to ``present``.
