[chef] Re: Re: Chef timeout

[Bryan McLellan < >]

chef-solo uses solo.rb with the same format as client.rb. For Chef
alone, this defaults to /etc/chef/solo.rb. Vagrant creates this file
on the instance, and looking at the source there doesn't appear to be
a way to add any additional options using Vagrant directly.

https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/blob/master/plugins/provisioners/chef/provisioner/chef_solo.rb#L125

Try putting it in your recipe before you use yum_package.

Chef::Config[:yum_timeout] = 1800
