Vlc Cookbook

A Chef cookbook for VLC.

Requirements

As of v1.0.0, Chef 12.5 is generally required, though it may be possible to use
it in earlier versions of Chef 12 via the
compat_resource
cookbook.

This cookbook currently supports a number of platforms. It uses the dmg,
windows, apt, and freebsd community cookbooks for OS X, Windows, Ubuntu/Debian,
and FreeBSD support, respectively.

For RHEL support, it uses the Nux Dextop YUM
repo (which also depends on EPEL), as EPEL has no VLC packages and RPMForge
doesn't have any for RHEL 7.

Usage

Either add the default recipe to your run_list or implement the resource
directly in a recipe of your own.
