[chef] Re: Re: Re: Getting local yum repositories enabled before other cookbooks demand them in bootstrap

[Sean OMeara < >]

This is the classic "compile phase arms race" problem.

Try wrapping any recipes that need to do compilation phase work with the now cookbook on the community site.

As per my understanding, if no recipe in the run list forces any package installation during compiling phase it is enough to correctly set the run-list. Sometimes it is not, because some recipe (for example ruby recipe of mysql cookbook if I well remember) forces packages installation during compiling phase, but I hadn't really understood if it is Nico's use case ;-)

Nico,

I'm a little confused by what you're describing. If you bootstrap a
fresh system with the run_list being something like
'recipe[yum-epel],recipe[yumrepo::percona],recipe[mysql::server]' and
the attribute node['mysql']['server']['packages'] =
['Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-Server'], you're saying it doesn't work?
Isn't the yum repo file created by the yumrepo::percona recipe you're
describing, so that it's available for the mysql::server run?
