[chef] postgres::ruby.rb precedence

[Marco Betti < >]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to use database cookbook, but I have some problem:
 - with proxy (wrote in another post)
 - with execution precedence

In spite of my run-list is set to execute postgresql::ruby at last [1], actually it is executed at first and it fails for two reasons:

1) because proxy inside yum.conf isn't set yet (it is set inside system-prereq recipe, the first one) and as a consequence required packages installation via yum required in postgresql::ruby fails

2) because I can't manage postgresql::ruby pg gem installation behind a proxy.

In this moment I'm focusing on point 1).


If postgresql::ruby was executed at last, then I could concentrate on point 2.

I'm quite new to chef, but it seems that postgresql::ruby is executed at compile-time (the only reference I can find is related to stage "Expand the run-list" [2]), before convergence.

Can anybody give me some hint, if possible, to find a solution?

Regards,
Marco
