[chef] Re: Chef timeout

I'm using Vagrant with chec-solo in this setup. What is the equivalent of client.rb in this case? Can it be put somewhere in the Vagrantfile?

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?
