[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Problem While Installing Linux Package with Chef

[Kandarp Desai < >]

I'm expecting Chef to use "yum".

I have other machine which is using chef "0.10.0" and the same code works fine on that machine.

The machine which is having this problem is running chef "0.10.4".

Is there any major change between this two versions which could cause this issue?

I don't mind downgrading to 0.10.0 temporarily. Also, I don't want to use manual installation as I have many recipes using 50-60 packages installation.

I don't think anyone has used Chef on Oracle Linux.

What package manager are you expecting Chef to use?

There's no mapping for providers for Oracle linux in the platform hash [0]

You'll have to expliclity tell Chef which provider you'll want to use
for resources, or adjust the platform hash yourself. This is very
heavy stuff. I'd suggesting opening a ticket for Oracle support and
figuring out what you need to complete to make that happen?

https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/chef/lib/chef/platform.rb

In the mean time, you can use something like:

gem_package
yum_package
dpkg_package

And so on. Conversely, you can specify the provider in the package
definition itself:

package "foo" do
 provider Chef::Providers::Package::Yum
 action :upgrade
end
