[chef-dev] 4/18 Opscode Code Review

[Bryan McLellan < >]

We're going to merge a simple hint system into OHAI. The use case here
is to use knife cloud plugins to let ohai know you're on a cloud,
since most of the cloud providers aren't giving us reliable ways to
detect the cloud, let alone without making a network call. Check out
OHAI-267 if you're interested in this.

I propose that we detect Openstack as a cloud system, rather than a
cloud provider or virtualization system, and thus store it in
node[:cloud][:system]. You can see the problem in OHAI-335, where
there are multiple cloud providers using Openstack now.

Merge:
  OHAI-345 - Missing platform_family support for OS X and OS X Server
  OHAI-351 - network information is blank on Windows
  COOK-1180 - Apache2 logio/logconfig problem on RHEL, and
mod_proxy_ajp dependency on mod_proxy
  COOK-1203 - Allow PATH to be provided for cron based chef-client runs
  COOK-1168 - A Few Typos in the README for the DJBDNS Cookbook
  COOK-1207 - Add missing service hooks to gunicorn cookbook. Fix method 
names.
  OHAI-267 - identifying rackspace's managed cloud instances

Other:
  OHAI-315 - Virtualbox plugin + cloud attributes
  Reopened - Cloud doesn't seem the right place for virtualization data
  OHAI-336 - Running ohai (and chef-client) on OSX without Java prompts user
  Reopened - Look for a better way to tell if Java isn't installed.
  COOK-1195 - As an AWS user I would like chef to provide a resource
for manipulating the tags assigned to AWS resources (e.g. instances,
volumes and snapshots)
  Reopened - updated_by_last_action
  COOK-1183 - Cloudkick cookbook causes chef run to fail if
communication with the Cloudkick API endpoint fails
  Reopened - Exception should more specific
  COOK-1188 - Gunicorn cookbook is not very reusable
  Reviewed - LWRP over a definition?
  COOK-1196 - convert maven lwrp attributes to use snake_case rather
than CamelCase
  Reviewed - Is the ark cookbook stable yet?
  COOK-1197 - Ark cookbook should be added to opscode-cookbooks/ as
the maven cookbook depends on it
  Reviewed - Need to modify community set permissions
  OHAI-335 - Integration with HP Cloud
  Reopened - Cannot determine HP Cloud by the Openstack MAC address.
  COOK-1195 - As an AWS user I would like chef to provide a resource
for manipulating the tags assigned to AWS resources (e.g. instances,
volumes and snapshots)
  Reopened - Needs to call updated_by_last_action
