Configures various YUM components on Red Hat-like systems. Includes LWRP for managing repositories and their GPG keys.
Based on the work done by Eric Wolfe and Charles Duffy on the yumrepo cookbook. http://github.com/atomic-penguin/cookbooks/tree/yumrepo/yumrepo
RHEL, CentOS or Scientific Linux 5.x or newer. It has not been tested on other platforms or earlier versions. RHEL 6 support is untested (testing and patches are welcome).
The default recipe runs yum update
during the Compile Phase of the Chef run to ensure that the system's package cache is updated with the latest. It is recommended that this recipe appear first in a node's run list (directly or through a role) to ensure that when installing packages, Chef will be able to download the latest version available on the remote YUM repository.
Manages the configuration of the /etc/yum.conf
via attributes.
This LWRP handles importing GPG keys for YUM repositories. Keys can be imported by the url
parameter or placed in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
by a recipe and then installed with the LWRP without passing the URL.
- :add: installs the GPG key into
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
- :remove: removes the GPG key from
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
- key: name attribute. The name of the GPG key to install.
- url: if the key needs to be downloaded, the URL providing the download.
# add the Zenoss GPG key
yum_key "RPM-GPG-KEY-zenoss" do
url "http://dev.zenoss.com/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-zenoss"
action :add
end
# remove Zenoss GPG key
yum_key "RPM-GPG-KEY-zenoss" do
action :remove
end
This LWRP provides an easy way to manage additional YUM repositories. GPG keys can be managed with the key
LWRP.
- :add: creates a repository file and builds the repository listing
- :remove: removes the repository file
- repo_name: name attribute. The name of the channel to discover
- description. The description of the repository
- url: The URL providing the packages
- mirrorlist: Default is
false
, iftrue
theurl
is considered a list of mirrors - key: Optional, the name of the GPG key file installed by the
key
LWRP. - enabled: Default is
1
, set to0
if the repository is disabled. - type: Optional, alternate type of repository
- failovermethod: Optional, failovermethod
- bootstrapurl: Optional, bootstrapurl
# add the Zenoss repository
yum_repository "zenoss" do
name "Zenoss Stable repo"
url "http://dev.zenoss.com/yum/stable/"
key "RPM-GPG-KEY-zenoss"
action :add
end
# remove Zenoss repo
yum_repository "zenoss" do
action :remove
end
Put recipe[yum]
first in the run list to ensure yum update
is run before other recipes. You can manage GPG keys either with cookbook_file in a recipe if you want to package it with a cookbook or use the url
parameter of the key
LWRP.
