Set name/base_url to localdomain in the case Ohai domain
is
unavailable. Fixes chef-solo compilation error on Vagrant boxes.
v0.16.2
Change corporate recipe to key off domain name.
v0.16.0
Add VMWare Tools for ESX v5.0u1, along with a vmware-tools-upgrade
recipe. The yumrepo::vmware-tools recipe is backwards incompatible.
Unfortunately there is no way to upgrade vmware-tools rpm files without
yanking them out, and replacing them.
One must ensure the `vmware-tools-upgrade` recipe will run **before**
the vmware-tools
recipe. Otherwise the 4.1 recipe will directly
conflict with the 5.0u1 version of the recipe.
I also added some attribute sanity tests for this new version, enjoy!
