Description

Cookbook for install jython on *nix systems

Requirements

Requires the opscode java cookbook. The dependency only is for java to be in your path so this is a very loose dependency. The specific version of the java cookbook should not matter. You are obviously limited by jython's java requirments.

Attributes

See attributes/default.rb for full list of attributes.

• node["jython"]["version"] - Version of jython to install. Currently supported versions are 2.5.2, 2.5.3, and 2.7a2.
• node["jython"]["classpath"] - After installation the initial package cache is generated, any jars here will be included in the cache. Defaults to /usr/share/java/*.
• node["jython"]["package_cache_writable"] - Whether or not the package cache should be world writable. This prevents seeing errors like *sys-package-mgr*: can't write cache file for '/usr/lib/some-java-lib/foo.jar', but this has obvious security implications.

Recipes

default

Installs the selected jython version from a jar provided by the Jython project. This is the recommended route as most distro packages are grossly out of date.
