[chef-dev] 4/4 Opscode Code Review

[Bryan McLellan < >]

We realized today while looking at CHEF-2958 that some package
providers take a filename in the source attribute and sometimes in the
name attribute and that is unclear, and unfortunate. There isn't a
whole lot to do about it right now without making a design change on
the next major release.

We've merged all the outstanding tickets for Chef. I'll go through
todays results and ship a beta release of 0.10.10 before the end of
the week so we can start testing it.

To merge:
  CHEF-2958 - gem_package install fails when gem_binary is specified
and source is a local file
  CHEF-3003 - Route provider does not create route files on redhat and fedora
  CHEF-3008 - Route provider does not save all defined routes in
redhat route configs
  COOK-733 - add /etc/aliases template to postfix cookbook
  COOK-856 - Add the vhost_combined LogFormat

Other:
  CHEF-2996 - Add ability to use a regexp for value_for_platform
platform version specifier
  Closed - Wontfix in favor of CHEF-2410
  CHEF-1251 - FreeBSD package provider should not need the port tree
to handle binary packages
  Reopened - Avoid using rescue to blindly capture a failing command.
  CHEF-3012 - Windows group provider is not idempotent
  Reopened - Can we check for a group membership before we try to add
a user to one?
  COOK-743 - dynect::a_record has a typo // Dynect API expects
"ARecord", not "A"
  Reopened - Waiting until upstream library stabilizes
  COOK-1148 - DMG Package provider should support the type "pkg"
  Closed - Duplicate COOK-852
  COOK-852 - dmg cookbook can target type "pkg"
  Reopened - Use shell_out, combine contributions.
  COOK-967 - passenger_apache2 relies on apache recipe to create a
.load file but the apache2 module does not create one in debian based
distros
  Closed - Wontfix

Andrea Campi is working on the refactor of the application cookbook,
so I've assigned these to him:
  COOK-657 - Ability to decouple application environment from chef_environment
  COOK-628 - Applications with recipes that have already been used
silently fail.
  COOK-625 - Allow other cookbooks to define application recipes
  COOK-602 - allow _default environment default to be configurable
  COOK-963 - application w/rails recipe fails for older rails 3.0.x
apps. Should use 'bundle exec unicorn' to launch unicorn when app uses
bundler
  COOK-768 - application::rails passes the wrong environment to
"bundle install --without"
  COOK-786 - [PATCH] Application Cookbook Django recipe uses
chef_environment as attribute rather than method
