It looks like at the moment the recipe that you could add to add the percona repo has been disabled: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/mysql/blob/master/recipes/_percona_repo-disabled.rb

You could try reenabling that and adding it to your run list.

Hi Andy,

This is what I have into my site cookbook

```

node.override['mysql']['client']['packages'] = ['percona-server-client-5.5']

include_recipe "mysql::ruby"

```

When applied gives this:

Chef::Exceptions::Package

-------------------------

package[percona-server-client-5.5] (mysql::client line 47) had an error: Chef::Exceptions::Package: No version specified, and no candidate version available for percona-server-client-5.5

  

Also I can confirm that the apt repo is not installed.

Looking into the ruby recipe I can see at 

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/mysql/blob/master/recipes/ruby.rb#L35

only debian is supported ... I run ubuntu.

This seems to be a bug in the end - should I open a jira ticket ?

thanks!

ps: i tried also the client recipe but it does fail as well and doesn't seem to have support for the percona's repo

You can use the Opscode maintained one if you change the package names
that are to be installed with the following attributes:

node['mysql']['client']['packages'] - An array of package names that
should be installed on "client" systems. This can be modified, e.g.,
to specify packages for Percona.

node['mysql']['server']['packages'] - An array of package names that
should be installed on "server" systems. This can be modified, e.g.,
to specify packages for Percona.
