[ops-messaging] rabbitmq-server not being installed properly on CentOS/RHEL

[Darren Birkett]

Since the recent changes to use the yum 3.x cookbook, the yum epel repo is not getting configured early enough in a chef run. This manifests in rabbitmq-server not being installed because it needs to be installed from epel:

    Install rabbitmq-server from rabbit site for CentOS/RHEL

    Fixes: bug 1282041
    Implements: blueprint centos-rhel-for-ops-messaging

    On CentOS/RHEL, the OS base repos don't have a package for
    rabbitmq-server. The rabbitmq cookbook by default expects to be able to
    install the latest rabbitmq-server rpm from the rabbitmq site
    (use_distro_version = false). However, in our cookbooks we are overriding
    'use_distro_version' to true, which works for ubuntu as it has a
    rabbitmq-server package in it's base repo

    This commit basically leaves the use_distro_version flag as false unless
    ubuntu/suse is the platform_family, so that CentOS/RHEL can grab the rpm
    from the rabbitmq site
