It doesn't do full downloads of files, but (as of RHEL5) it still makes HEAD requests or something, re-processes package lists (I guess apt does this too), I dunno. "-C" makes a significant difference. I want it to take less than a second to make a decision or spit out information; other package managers can do that. EDIT: also want to say, I appreciate ansible overall, and I appreciate your attitude towards it. I've been close to a project that was good for a couple of uses, got kinda popular, and then people wanted it to be good for all purposes...
