[chef] Re: Chef timeout

[Jared Russell < >]

From the source:
https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/lib/chef/provider/package/yum.rb#L764

Chef::Log.error("#{helper} exceeded timeout #{Chef::Config[:yum_timeout]}")

You can configure the timeout by defining the yum_timeout setting in the
client.rb file for your node.
