default['yum']['rpmforge']['enabled'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge']['managed'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge']['gpgcheck'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge']['gpgkey'] = 'http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt'

default['yum']['rpmforge-extras']['repositoryid'] = 'rpmforge'
default['yum']['rpmforge-extras']['description'] = 'RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - extras'
default['yum']['rpmforge-extras']['mirrorlist'] = 'http://mirrorlist.repoforge.org/el6/mirrors-rpmforge-extras'
default['yum']['rpmforge-extras']['enabled'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge-extras']['managed'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge-extras']['gpgcheck'] = true

default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['repositoryid'] = 'rpmforge-testing'
default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['description'] = 'RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - testing'
default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['mirrorlist'] = 'http://mirrorlist.repoforge.org/el6/mirrors-rpmforge-testing'
default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['enabled'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['managed'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['gpgcheck'] = true
default['yum']['rpmforge-testing']['gpgkey'] = 'http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt'

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 'rpmforge' do
    mirrorlist 'http://mirrorlist.repoforge.org/el6/mirrors-rpmforge'
    description 'RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag'
    enabled true
    gpgcheck true
    gpgkey 'http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt'
  end

Usage Example

To disable the CentOS Extras repository through a Role or Environment definition

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

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

node.default['yum']['rpmforge']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['rpmforge']['managed'] = true

include_recipe 'yum-repoforge'

More Examples

Point the base and updates repositories at an internally hosted server.

node.default['yum']['rpmforge']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['rpmforge']['mirrorlist'] = nil
node.default['yum']['rpmforge']['baseurl'] = 'https://internal.example.com/centos/6/os/x86_64'
node.default['yum']['rpmforge']['sslverify'] = false
include_recipe 'yum-repoforge'
