Chef version compatibility

[wndhydrnt]

I just discovered a discrepancy between what the compatibility of this cookbook stated in the metadata.rb file and its actual compatibility.
metadata.rb states that this cookbook is compatible with chef_version '>= 12.1', but it is actually only compatible with Chef version 12.14 and above because cookbook yum 5.x is only compatible with Chef >= 12.14 (see changelog of yum cookbook).

Either the value of chef_version should be changed to '>= 12.14' or the constraint on the yum cookbook should be changed to '>= 4.2.0'.
For us, changing the constraint on the yum cookbook would be preferable because we are still on Chef 12.7.

@wndhydrnt Thank you for reporting. As elastic_beats_repo setup core elastic repository, not specifically for beats, it can be used to install any elastic package.

So, I have created another cookbook elastic_repo. It does more or less the same, but provides elastic_repo resource.

I am updating beats cookbooks to use elastic_repo instead.
