mysql Chef Gem Installer Cookbook

mysql_chef_gem is a library cookbook that provides an LWRP for use in recipes. It provides a wrapper around chef_gem called mysql_chef_gem that eases the installation process, collecting the prerequisites and side-stepping the compilation phase arms race.

DEPRECATED

This cookbook has been deprecated. The goal of the cookbook was to make installing the gem easier, but that can be done in a simple wrapper cookbook with less complexity than this cookbook introduced.

Scope

This cookbook is concerned with the installation of the mysql Rubygem into Chef's gem path. Installation into other Ruby environments, or installation of related gems such as mysql2 are outside the scope of this cookbook. For installing the mysql2 gem see https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/mysql2_chef_gem
