Hello!
Is there a way to configure the provider for a resource (i.e. the
package resource) for a whole node or at least the whole recipe? The
provider can be choosen for each resource individually, but I would like
to configure this only once so i don’t have to repeat myself again and
again.
Regards,
Claus

You're able to leverage a Library (http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Libraries
) to adjust our internal platform, platform version => provider
mapping. (chef/chef/lib/chef/platform.rb at 89a2609242a63d6bc85e0ddfed078319b4d4a81b · chef/chef · GitHub
). However be aware that once this is set, it will be valid for that
entire 'run', or indefinitely while daemonized.
E.g.:
Chef::Platform.platforms[:default].merge! :deploy =>
Chef::Provider::Deploy, :gem_package =>
Chef::Provider:
:Rubygems

Oh, that's fine. In fact, if I could I would like to change the default
for my whole site, to make all the linux nodes use yum.
Chef::Platform.platforms[:default].merge! :deploy =>
Chef::Provider::Deploy, :gem_package =>
Chef::Provider:
":deploy"? Did you mean ":package"? Like:
Chef::Platform.platforms[:default].merge! :package =>
Chef::Provider::Yum
