yum-fedora Cookbook

The yum-fedora cookbook takes over management of the default repositoryids that ship with Fedora systems. It allows attribute manipulation of fedora, fedora-debuginfo, fedora-source, updates, updates-debuginfo, updates-source, updates-testing, updates-testing-debuginfo, and updates-testing-source

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 'fedora' do
    mirrorlist 'https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch'
    description 'Fedora $releasever - $basearch'
    enabled true
    gpgcheck true
    gpgkey 'file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch'
  end

Usage Example

To disable the Fedora Updates repository through a Role or Environment definition

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

Uncommonly used repositoryids are not managed by default. This is speeds up integration testing pipelines by avoiding yum-cache builds that nobody cares about. To enable the Fedora Debuginfo repository with a wrapper cookbook, place the following in a recipe:

node.default['yum']['fedora-debuginfo']['managed'] = true
node.default['yum']['fedora-debuginfo']['enabled'] = true
include_recipe 'yum-fedora'

More Examples

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

node.default['yum']['fedora']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['fedora']['mirrorlist'] = nil
node.default['yum']['fedora']['baseurl'] = 'https://internal.example.com/fedora/19/os/x86_64'
node.default['yum']['fedora']['sslverify'] = false
node.default['yum']['updates']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['updates']['mirrorlist'] = nil
node.default['yum']['updates']['baseurl'] = 'https://internal.example.com/fedora/19/updates/x86_64'
node.default['yum']['updates']['sslverify'] = false

include_recipe 'yum-fedora'
