[chef-dev] Opscode 2/1 Ticket Triage

[Bryan McLellan < >]

Woops! Running late on this email, bunch of fires this week.

The engineering team at Opscode has been really busy rewriting Omnibus
in Ruby for immediate use for internal projects. Thus the release
dates for Ohai 0.6.12 and Chef 0.10.10 have slipped and I don't know
when we will get to them. Soon.

We've added a new resource to master named 'chef_gem'. We found a
pretty even split between people using gem_package for installing gems
for use in recipes and for use on the system. These really are
different use cases, particularly since the former required some
trickery to get the action to run immediately and then get Gem to
immediately recognise the new library. chef_gem does both of these for
you, simplifying the process. Details can be found in CHEF-2879.
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2879

We've got a good CI infrastructure built out now on jenkins at Opscode
HQ, testing multiple versions of Ruby as well as Windows. Those of you
contributing tests definitely win cake.
