[chef] Re: Cookbook for MySQL

[Sean OMeara < >]

Hi.

So, its not quite that easy... the mysql server packages that exist
have a lot of package dependencies.
The one shipped in the rhel/centos channels have around 10

So, you'd need to host each package and their dependencies on a web server...
.... which would give you a yum repository.


If you want to use the mysql cookbook on the community site, you could
try pointing your box a the CentOS repositories (or an internally
hosted mirror) with the yum-centos cookbook
