updated chef builds?

[Jesse Campbell]

Hello!
I was curious how frequently updated chef client and server rpms are
planned to be built out?
I'm pretty sure the current version in the repos is 0.10.6, while chef
mainstream has updated to 0.10.8 a few months back, and 0.10.10 is
coming up soon (currently beta iirc)

Thanks a bunch!

Hey Jesse,
 

0.10.8 was a 'windows only' release IIRC, with no interest for us, RHEL users. I confirmed that with the Opscode folks and decided not to package it.

I will package 0.10.10 as soon as it gets out of the door. Usually it takes me a couple of days.

Thanks a bunch!

Cheers!

have you blogged about the upgrade strategy for minor versions of chef
server using your packages? Is it just drop-in and restart, or should
I roll a new server and migrate? Is it different than the upgrade
strategy for chef-server-gems?

I should have done that when announcing upgrades. Can't remember though...

Nevertheless, upgrading minor versions only required a restart in
previous releases (0.10.X). Hopefully that will also be the case with
0.10.10. I'll do as much as I can keep it that way ;)

Cheers!

When I say nevertheless I mean "in any case". I believe that's what I wanted to use there...

Thank you very much! That is just exactly the news I was hoping to hear :]

Got another one...
A number of the VMs in my environment are not internet connected, so I
need to clone the rbel repos (5 and 6) to be able to get to them.
What method would you suggest to make sure they stay up to date? rsync
seems to be the standard for most distributions, but it does not
appear to be enabled for your repos.

Let me know if that works for you Jesse.

No problem Jesse. The current 'documentation' isn't particulary well organized... I should switch to a wiki or something similar at some point.

It seems that the packages are still on 0.10.6, however 10.12.0 is now out (re-ordered from the old system where it would have been 0.10.12).

Are there plans to update the packages for 10.12.0?
