Attributes
Default recipe attributes
node['vim']['extra_packages']
- An array of extra packages related to vim to install (like plugins). Empty array by default.node['vim']['install_method']
- Sets the install method, choose from the various install recipes. This attribute is set to 'package' by default.
Source recipe attributes
-
node['vim']['source']['version']
- The version of vim to compile, 7.4 by default. -
node['vim']['source']['checksum']
- The source file checksum. -
node['vim']['source']['dependencies']
- These are the non rhl specific devel dependencies for compiling vim. -
node['vim']['source']['centos_dependencies']
- These are the rhl and centos specific dependencies needed for compiling vim. -
node['vim']['source']['prefix']
- This is the path the vim bin will be placed, it's/usr/local
-
node['vim']['source']['configuration']
- If you prefer to compile vim differently than the default you can override this configuration.
Usage
Add recipe[vim]
to your run list or include the default recipe with include_recipe 'vim'
in a recipe that is in your run list.
This uses the value of the attribute node['vim']['install_method']
which by default is package.
If you would like to install additional vim plugin packages, include their package names in the node['vim']['extra_packages']
attribute. Verify that your operating sytem has the package available.
If you would rather compile vim from source, as the case may be for centos nodes, then override the node['vim']['install_method']
with a value of 'source'
.
