node['vim']['extra_packages']- An array of extra packages related to vim to install (like plugins). Empty array by default. -
node['vim']['install_method']- Sets the install method, choose from the various install recipes. This attribute is set to 'package' by default.
node['vim']['source']['version']- The version of vim to compile, 7.4 by default.node['vim']['source']['checksum']- The source file checksum.node['vim']['source']['dependencies']- These are the non rhl specific devel dependencies for compiling vim.node['vim']['source']['centos_dependencies']- These are the rhl and centos specific dependencies needed for compiling vim.node['vim']['source']['prefix']- This is the path the vim bin will be placed, it's/usr/localnode['vim']['source']['configuration']- If you prefer to compile vim differently than the default you can override this configuration.
Add recipe[vim] to your run list or include the default recipe with include_recipe 'vim' in a recipe that is in your run list.
This uses the value of the attribute node['vim']['install_method'] which by default is package.
If you would like to install additional vim plugin packages, include their package names in the node['vim']['extra_packages'] attribute. Verify that your operating sytem has the package available.
If you would rather compile vim from source, as the case may be for centos nodes, then override the node['vim']['install_method'] with a value of 'source'.
