yum-oracle Cookbook

The yum-oracle cookbook manages some of the yum repos to operate an Oracle Linux system.

Requirements

Chef 11 or higher
yum cookbook version 3.0.0 or higher

Attributes

The following attributes are set by default.

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 'ol6_latest' do
    baseurl 'http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/'
    description 'Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)'
    enabled true
    gpgcheck true
    gpgkey 'file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle'
  end

Usage Example

To disable the Oracle 6 latest repository through a Role or Environment definition:

default_attributes(
  :yum => {
    :ol6_latest => {
      :enabled => {
        false
       }
     }
   }
 )

Special Note

Oracle refers to Enterprise Linux 5 as "el5" and Enterprise Linux 6 as "ol6", so be careful.

Bugs

ChefSpec unit tests run but not with real Fauxhai data, because Fauxhai doesn't have data for Oracle Linux (yet).
Not all repositories that might appear on an Oracle Linux system are managed yet by this cookbook, because most of them are turned off. Pull requests are accepted to do all the work to add them in.
