Have you tried adding repos using the yum cookbook?  This should take care of what you need.

I'm wondering if there is a way to get notifications to be delayed slightly, without having to wait for the end of the run?

Here is the scenario: I add several Yum repositories using a recipe. After the repositories are added, I need to rebuild the Yum cache.

I have two options to do that:

- Send a delayed notification - but then other recipes don't get the benefit of the new repositories until the next run, and thus may break.

- Send an immediate notification - but then the cache gets rebuilt multiple times. Rebuilding the Yum cache is very expensive in terms of time and bandwidth, so I want to avoid that.

Is there a trick I can use to only cause one notification to be sent after all of the repositories have been added?

Thanks!
