DESCRIPTION

Sets up an APT repository suitable for using the reprepro tool to manage distributions and components.

REQUIREMENTS

Platform: Debian or Ubuntu.

Requires Chef 0.8.x+, client/server. Does not work with Chef Solo due to data bag use.

You'll need to generate the PGP key separately and provide the data in the databag.

USAGE

Attributes

Attributes in this cookbook are set via the default recipe with data from the data bag. The following attributes are used, in the reprepro namespace.

• fqdn - the fqdn that would go in sources.list
• description - a description of the repository
• pgp_email - the email address of the pgp key
• pgp_fingerprint - the finger print of the pgp key

Data Bag

Create a data bag to store the repository information.
