yum-elrepo Cookbook

The yum-elrepo cookbook takes over management of the default
repositoryids used by elrepo. It allows attribute manipulation of
elrepo.

Requirements

Platforms

• RHEL/CentOS and derivatives
• Fedora

Chef

• Chef 11+

Cookbooks

• yum version 3.2.0 or higher

Attributes

The following attributes are set by default

default['yum']['elrepo']['baseurl'] = 'http://elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el6'
default['yum']['elrepo']['baseurl'] = 'ELRepo.org Yum Repository'
default['yum']['elrepo']['gpgkey'] = 'http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org'
default['yum']['elrepo']['enabled'] = true

Recipes

• default - Walks through node attributes and feeds a yum_resource parameters. The following is an example a resource generated by the recipe during compilation.

  yum_repository 'elrepo' do
    mirrorlist 'http://elrepo.org/mirrors-elrepo.el6'
    description 'ELRepo.org Yum Repository'
    enabled true
    gpgcheck true
    gpgkey 'http://elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org'
  end

Usage Example

To disable the elrepo repository through a Role or Environment definition

default_attributes(
  :yum => {
    :elrepo => {
      :enabled => {
        false
       }
     }
   }
 )

To enable the elrepo repository with a wrapper cookbook, place
the following in a recipe:

node.default['yum']['elrepo']['enabled'] = true
include_recipe 'yum-elrepo'

More Examples

Point the elrepo repositories at an internally hosted server.

node.default['yum']['elrepo']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['elrepo']['baseurl'] = 'https://internal.example.com/elrepo'
node.default['yum']['elrepo']['sslverify'] = false

include_recipe 'yum-elrepo'
