mysql Chef Gem Installer Cookbook

mysql_chef_gem is a library cookbook that provides an LWRP for use
in recipes. It provides a wrapper around chef_gem called
mysql_chef_gem that eases the installation process, collecting the
prerequisites and side-stepping the compilation phase arms race.

Scope

This cookbook is concerned with the installation of the mysql
Rubygem into Chef's gem path. Installation into other Ruby
environments, or installation of related gems such as mysql2 are
outside the scope of this cookbook.

Requirements

• Chef 11 or higher
• Ruby 1.9 (preferably from the Chef full-stack installer)

The following platforms have been tested with Test Kitchen and are
