Yeah, that would be great. I'm in favor of switching popen4 to shell_out if you can since the API is cleaner and it has built-in support for nice error messages when a command fails as well as live updating of output to a tty in some conditions.

Feel free to hop on to #chef-hacking on freenode.net (http://freenode.net) if you have development questions, or you can mail the chef-dev list as well.

Alright. I've modified the patch to use shell_out:

https://gist.github.com/1016667

And the full yum.rb file in case anyone wants to test it:

https://gist.github.com/1017053

(replaces /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.10.0/lib/chef/provider/package/yum.rb)

My plan is to do some more testing and If everything goes well, I'll push an updated RPM soon after that.

I've seen that there are a lot of changes coming to the yum provider in the next release, so I guess submitting a pull request is not necessary, right?

Rgds.
