mrepo-cookbook

The mrepo cookbook will set up mrepo. http://dag.wiee.rs/home-made/mrepo/ The goal is to try and mimic the opscode yum cookbook. The cookbook exposes a mrepo_repository resource that allows a user to make individual Yum repositories available for use. The goal is to support all the options mrepo supports in mrepo.conf

Supported Platforms

This has only been tested with Centos 6.5. This cookbook uses the version of mrepo from the epel repo. That version is slightly behind the version available. That version doesn't support reposync. Using reposync seems like a good way to do mirrors.

This cookbook was written with Chef version 11.16.4

Issues

This cookbook doesn't setup the http server correctly. It's a small thing I'm sure, but might be moving on. Pull requests are welcome!
