[[chef-dev]] Fwd: Call for testing: Ubuntu / Debian packages for Chef 0.8

Hello!

I have uploaded version chef_0.8.10-3 to the PPA. This fixes an issue  
with /srv/chef not being owned by 'chef' user and the server  
subsequently unable to upload cookbooks. The new version also  
clarifies some comments in the config files. If you are updating from  
a previous package version, dpkg will probably prompt you above the  
config files. Install the package maintainers version when prompted:

Configuration file `/etc/chef/server.rb'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
*** server.rb (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? y

Thanks for testing. I'm hoping this will be the last version of the  
0.8 packaging in the PPA before I can move everything over to the  
Opscode APT repo this week.
