[chef] Re: toggling yum repos to enabled, disabled

[John Alberts < >]

I ran into this problem yesterday.  In the yum cookbook file
yum/providers/respository.rb, comment out the following line:
unless ::File.exists?("/etc/yum.repos.d/#{new_resource.repo_name}.repo")

I don't understand the point of this line anyway.

Regards,
John
