hi, did you consider making this available through the ansible-galaxy?

It's on the todo list!

I've just tried to make the module installable via ansible-galaxy, but I'm running into some roadblocks that I'm not sure how to solve. Specifically, after installing the module via ansible-galaxy the following tasks now longer works as they used to:

- set_fact:
    ansible_facts:
      pkg_mgr: yay
- package:
    name: any-package-name
  become: true

I get the following error:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: NoneType: None
fatal: [tecopa]: FAILED! => changed=false
  msg: Could not find a module for yay.

I've tried using the fully qualified name, importing the module as a role, as a collection, all with the same result. Does anyone have an idea how one can build an ansible-galaxy installed collection that can be used as a an ansible package manager?.

If you're curious to try and debug, unrevert the last two commits and the repo should be installable as a local ansible-galaxy package via:

ansible-galaxy collection install <path to local checkout of this repo>

I also got errors trying to install via ansible-galaxy:

$ ansible-galaxy role install mnussbaum.ansible_yay
Starting galaxy role install process
- downloading role 'ansible_yay', owned by mnussbaum
- downloading role from https://github.com/mnussbaum/ansible-yay/archive/master.tar.gz
[WARNING]: - mnussbaum.ansible_yay was NOT installed successfully: this role does not appear to have a meta/main.yml file.

Not that I'm installing mnussbaum.ansible_yay with an underscore instead of a hyphen (as suggested in the README), as this corresponds to the ansible galaxy url.
