[chef-testing-stack][network] Neutron won't start on Centos65 because of an old version of dnsmasq

[JJ Asghar]

tl;dr:
2014-11-29 23:18:37.833 7845 WARNING neutron.agent.linux.dhcp [req-b68dc8b1-91b7-457e-8f7e-2e006032371d None] FAILED VERSION REQUIREMENT FOR DNSMASQ. DHCP AGENT MAY NOT RUN CORRECTLY! Please ensure that its version is 2.59 or above!

If i change this to an || instead of && i think it might fix it:

I'm testing it now.

It seems that this version of dnsmasq is a dep form the openstack-neutron install.

It looks like rpm -Uvh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/dnsmasq/dnsmasq-2.65-1.el6.rfx.x86_64.rpm ontop of the offical package takes away the dhcp-agent.log

    Centos 6.5 and up has and old version of dnsmasq

    This patch updates the version of dnsmasq so dhcp-agent
    can start correctly. This was found attempting to start
    the testing framework with centos and neutron. This is
    not triggered if the machine is anything other than
    centos and 6.5 and above.
