[chef-dev] Re: hoorah for knife-hp but wtf is hpfog???

[Matt Ray < >]

I've actually been in contact with the lead developer of HP's Fog work
and they will be merging upstream once HP gets closer to leaving their
beta period. There are indeed a few issues with the current
implementation, feel free to open tickets against my repo until we
find a more permanent place for it.

As far as managing the conflicting versions of Fog, I currently use
RVM gemsets to manage them. I have separate gemsets for
knife-ec2/rackspace, knife-openstack and knife-hp. We're discussing
updating all the Fog dependencies once more patches have made it
upstream.
