yum-epel Cookbook
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux.
The yum-epel cookbook provides custom resources that wrap Chef Infra's yum_repository resource for the default repository IDs shipped by epel-release and epel-next-release.
For migration details from the legacy recipe and attribute API, see [migration.md](migration.md).
Below is a table showing which repository IDs are managed by the cookbook resources:
| Repo ID | EL 8 | EL 9 | EL 10 | CentOS Stream 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| epel | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| epel-debuginfo | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| epel-next | no | no | no | yes |
| epel-next-debuginfo | no | no | no | yes |
| epel-next-source | no | no | no | yes |
| epel-next-testing | no | no | no | yes |
| epel-next-testing-debug | no | no | no | yes |
| epel-next-testing-source | no | no | no | yes |
| epel-source | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| epel-testing | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| epel-testing-debuginfo | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| epel-testing-source | yes | yes | yes | yes |

Resources
- [yum_epel](documentation/yum-epel_yum_epel.md)
- [yum_epel_repository](documentation/yum-epel_yum_epel_repository.md)
Usage Example
Manage the default EPEL repositories. By default the epel repository is enabled. On CentOS Stream 9, epel-next is also enabled.
yum_epel 'default'
Disable the epel repository while keeping it managed.
yum_epel 'default' do disabled_repositories ['epel'] end
Uncommonly used repository IDs are not managed by default. To manage and enable all supported repository IDs for the platform:
yum_epel 'all' do repositories :all enabled_repositories :all end
More Examples
Point the epel repositories at an internally hosted server.
yum_epel_repository 'epel' do mirrorlist nil baseurl 'https://internal.example.com/centos/9/os/x86_64' sslverify false end
