I'm interested in understanding why is Fedora not a part of the 'rhel' os family.

As I said on IRC, the issue is just that the code in the OpenStack recipe only has conditions for 'debian' and 'rhel' families. This means on Fedora that variable ends up being nil, which when interpolated as a string is ''.

Hi all,

I am trying to deploy openstack using openstack-chef-repo (https://github.com/stackforge/openstack-chef-repo). I am using fedora 19 and here is the error I am getting:

================================================================================

Recipe Compile Error in /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/openstack-ops-database/recipes/server.rb

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

Bad string format template[], you must have a string like resource_type[name]!

Now, I talked to people on IRC and apparently not all cookbooks work with Fedora. I don't plan to put Fedora in production, we would be using RHEL there, I tried it only for testing purposes. But I am still interested to know, what is causing this error? I mean I have template defined, the why isn't the cookbook able to find it? Isn't Fedora a part of RHEL family anymore?

Thanks,
