Description

Installs the "emacs" package to install the worlds most flexible, customizable text editor.

Requirements

Platform

• Debian/Ubuntu
• Red Hat/CentOS/Scientific/Fedora/Arch
• FreeBSD

Should work on any platform that has a default provider for the package resource and a package named emacs avaialble in the default package manager repository.

On FreeBSD, Chef version 0.10.6 is required for fixes to the ports package provider.

Attributes

• node['emacs']['packages'] - An array of Emacs package names to install. Defaults to the "No X11" name based on platform and falls back to "emacs".

Recipes

default

Installs the emacs package.

Usage

Simply add recipe[emacs] to the run list of a base role that gets applied to all systems. Modify the node['emacs']['packages'] attribute if the default package name for your platform is unavailable or incorrect (see attributes/default.rb). You should modify this with an attribute in a role applied to the node. For example:

name "base"
description "base role is applied to all nodes"
run_list("recipe[emacs]")
default_attributes(
  "emacs" => {
    "packages" => ["emacs-nox"]
  }
)

As this is an array you can append other emacs-related packages, such as to make configuration modes available.
