The yumrepo
cookbook has been deprecated
Author provided reason for deprecation:
The yumrepo cookbook has been deprecated and is no longer being maintained by its authors. Use of the yumrepo cookbook is no longer recommended.
You may find that the yum-corporate
cookbook is a suitable alternative.
Installs and configures EPEL, ELFF, Dell, and VMware yum repositories.
= DESCRIPTION:
Manages Yum Repository files in /etc/yum.repos.d on CentOS / RHEL 5.x.
Yum repositories included in this recipe:
EPEL, ELFF, Dell OMSA, Dell Community, Dell Firmware, VMware Tools
= REQUIREMENTS:
This cookbook requires RHEL or CentOS 5.x. It has not been tested on
other platforms. It probably will not work with RHEL 4 or CentOS 4,
especially if you have not taken the steps to install yum on that
platform.
The yumrepo::dell recipe requires Dell manufactured hardware. This
recipe should automatically disable itself by default if non-Dell
hardware is detected by Ohai
The yumrepo::vmware-tools recipe requires a VMWare Virtual Machine.
This recipe should automatically disable itself by default if
non-VMWare hardware is detected by Ohai.
Recipes tested with Ohai >= 0.5.6
