All -
I am trying to re-write a recipe to use the apt_repository resource to add a PPA on Ubuntu so that I can install a newer version of Subversion.
Originally I had this code in my recipe:
Get the add-apt-repository command
execute “install add-apt-repository” do
command "sudo apt-get install python-software-properties -y"
end
Add ppa to make version 1.7+ of Subversion available
execute “add-apt-repository” do
command "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7"
end
apt-get update to bring in the ppa contents
execute “apt-get update” do
command "sudo apt-get update"
end
apt-get install subversion
package “subversion” do
action :install
end
Brute-force, but effective.
Now I’d like to switch to using apt_repository, like so:
Use apt_repository cookbook to add PPA for Subversion 1.7
apt_repository “#{node[‘subversion’][‘subversion_ppa’]}” do
uri node[‘subversion’][‘subversion_ppa’]
distribution node[‘subversion’][‘ubuntu_version’]
components [“main”]
# keyserver “keyserver.ubuntu.com”
# key "29E526FC"
action :add
end
apt-get install subversion
package “subversion” do
action :install
end
Where these attributes:
default[‘subversion’][‘subversion_ppa’] = "http://ppa.launchpad.net/dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7/ubuntu"
default[‘subversion’][‘ubuntu_version’] = “precise”
When I run vagrant up I get the following error:
Chef:: Exceptions:: EnclosingDirectoryDoesNotExist
Parent directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/http://ppa.launchpad.net/dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7 does not exist
I’ve tried specifying the PPA address like this: ppa:dominik-stadler/subversion-1.7, with a similar unsuccessful result.
I hate to revert to the brute-force code I had before. What am I missing with apt_repository? /etc/apt/sources.list is on the VM, so I’m at a loss as to what “enclosing directory” is missing.
Thanks,
Mark
