[chef] Re: Re: cookbook idea: virt-tools , paravirtualization tools for guest systems

["Eric G. Wolfe" < >]

The yumrepo cookbook has a vmware-tools recipe for RHEL/CentOS, which installs the yum version of VMware-Tools from http://packages.vmware.com. Link: https://github.com/atomic-penguin/cookbooks/blob/yumrepo/yumrepo/recipes/vmware-tools.rb

It even cleans up previous manual installations from the VMware-Tools tarball or RPM which ships with ESX.

I did something simple like this on ubuntu and with vmware tools. Recipe looks like this and presumes a local copy of the tools deb repo: https://gist.github.com/1365295

I need a cookbook for installing paravirtualization tools  for various guests, whether running on top of virtualbox, KVM, or vmware's ESX server.

Does that same functionality currently exist somewhere else? If not i will polish version 0.0.1 of my 'virt-tools' cookbook w/ support for vmware-tools on CentOS.
