[chef] Re: Adding Yum Repos in a chef run

[Avishai Ish-Shalom < >]

Repositories are best installed early, so force the remote_file resource
to run at compile time, E.G.:

r =  remote_file "/etc/yum.repos.d/RubyWorks.repo" do
    source "http://rubyworks.rubyforge.org/RubyWorks.repo";
    mode "0644"
end

r.run_action(:create_if_missing)

Avishai
