[[chef-dev]] Re: [[chef-dev]] Chef 0.10 RC is available

[Joshua Timberman < >]

Note that for the bootstrap cookbooks, the cookbooks and attributes have 
changed. The wiki will be updated for the actual release.

Example chef.json:

{
"chef_server": {
"url": "http://localhost:4000";,
"webui_enabled": true
},
"run_list": [ "recipe[chef-server::rubygems-install]" ]
}

Updates to the cookbook can be found in my 0.10-betatest branch, and will be 
merged into the Opscode repo, and released on the Community site soon.
