About

I've authored some chef rpms and related dependencies that can be used to bootstrap a chef server on a CentOS system. Unlike the current recommended Ubuntu/Debian deployment method this bootstrap uses no rubygems directly nor does it compile any software. Everything top to bottom is packaged in rpms, the goal being to create a path that fits in well with sites using yum for package management (oddly enough like the one at my job).

These packages are currently based on the 0.6.2 gems with some patches to chef, ohai, and cookbooks sprinkled in to fix various minor issues which can be tracked via my github account. All changes have been submitted upstream. See the source rpms for more details and the individual patches.

This changes have been submitted in COOK-115 if you'd like to comment. Though please send me any bug reports directly.
