Hi,

Is it a designed feature that chef-client doesn't automatically upgrade yum

package even the repository has a newer version of the RPMs? Or I miss

What does your resource look like? If the action is :install, then it should not upgrade, unless you have a version parameter specifying a newer version. If you always want the newest version, you should use action :upgrade
