 ============================
 Ansible role to install the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) - Repository on RHEL and centos.
 
+### What do we do here?
++ First we read the variables you configured and our default values.
++ If enabled *(default to false)*, we do a simple version-check that will validate that you never run a older version of this role after you run this role before.
++ We validate that the GPG key of the EPEL repo for your distribution release is installed and match the fingerprint in the config.
++ We install the epel repo from a remote URL.
+
