[chef] Re: Re: Package Install Timeouts

[Kay Münch < >]

Hi Julian, Curtis,

May I still join the discussion, cause I think I'm struggling with the same 
problem the last days?
Downloading the jdk1.8.0 using the 'java' cookbook, times out after 10 
minutes, which is approximately one minute too short, as the client.log tells 
me.
An except of my client.log is attached to this mail.

Looking for a solution/workaround I may have found the source of my pain here:
/opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mixlib-
shellout-1.3.0/lib/mixlib/shellout.rb:29:    DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT = 600

A couple of interesting lines are in the mentioned file:
    186     def timeout
    187       @timeout || DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT
    188     end
but I'm not a ruby-expert and don't know how to deal with this knowledge, so 
I 
still (also?) like to ask how can I increase this timeout?

A workaround could be to change the DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT in my chef-client 
installation, but I'd like to avoid that and have yet not tried if this 
'solution' is working.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
        Kay
