Description of problem: We added the `he_pause_before_engine_setup` variable to the hosted-engine-setup ansible role in order be able to pause the deployment before running engine-setup and make changes in the bootstrap engine VM. This is useful for example to update repos for the engine-setup. Usage: $ hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_pause_before_engine_setup=true Documentation for that, can be found in - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-collection/tree/master/roles/hosted_engine_setup#make-changes-in-the-engine-vm-during-the-deployment in the manual section.
