[chef] Re: Chef timeout

Not sure if this is in the documentation anywhere, but the provider will check if Chef::Config[:yum_timeout] is set, and presumably honor that timeout value if it exists in your client.rb file.  Let me know if this does it for you.

I'm writing a recipe that involves installing some packages with yum. One of
these packages takes a long time installing, and during the installation of
this package, Chef times out with the message "ERROR: yum -d0 -e0 -y install
<packagename> exceeded timeout 900"

I have browsed and searched the documentation, but have not found any reference
to how to increase this timeout. Can someone shed light on this?
