Amazon error: trying to execute timedatectl

[eugenemiretsky]

The Amazon is a rhel 7 distribution but it doesn't have timedatectl installed. It should be using the rhel recipe instead of rhel7

[L2G]

Maybe I should throw out the 6-versus-7 assumptions and just check for the presence of timedatectl across all RedHat-based distros.

For information, on Amazon Linux 09/2015 it's work with release 0.2.0 without modifictions

I just tried this today with Amazon Linux 2015.09 and it's not working (timedatectl doesn't exist).

To begin with, this check is meaningless on amazon-linux(I checked with ami-383c1956).
node[:platform_version].split('.')[0].to_i -> 2015
so I agree with @L2G

Actually Amazon is closer to RHEL 6 than 7.

In general, this cookbook needs some Amazon lovin.

[et304383]

Is this cookbook still maintained @L2G ?
