[chef-dev] Moar Cookbook Releases for you!

[Joshua Timberman < >]

Ohai Chefs!

We have another batch of cookbook releases today. Thank you to all our
contributors, you are awesome! Also, thank you to those who participate in
the cookbook code review meetings. If you were at the Chef Summit and
wondered how you can help out, joining our code review hangouts is one of
those ways. 

Some statistics for you:

* Cookbook tickets for review: 43
* Cookbook tickets to merge: 0 :-)
* Cookbook tickets merged but not released: 90

If you have a pull request outstanding for some time, please do rebase
with the master branch of that cookbook's repository. That makes it easier
to merge and release cookbooks faster for us.

As platform_family has been available for some time and is in the current
supported releases of our omnibus package, we're adding it to cookbooks.
In doing so, we're incrementing the version of the cookbook by a major
version, though some cookbooks didn't get this bump. Thanks Mike Fiedler
for suggesting this as a breaking change that warrants a major version.

# bluepill v2.0.0:

This version uses platform_family attribute (in the provider), making
the cookbook incompatible with older versions of Chef/Ohai, hence the
major version bump.

- [COOK-1644] - Bluepill cookbook fails on Redhat due to missing
  default or redhat template directory.
- [COOK-1920] - init script should have a template file named after
  platform_family instead of using file specificity

# chef-client v2.0.0:

This version uses platform_family attribute, making the cookbook
incompatible
with older versions of Chef/Ohai, hence the major version bump.

- [COOK-635] - Allow configuration of path to chef-client binary in init
script
- [COOK-985] - set correct permissions on run and log directory for
chef-servers using this cookbook
- [COOK-1379] - Register chef-client as a launchd service on Mac OS X
(Server)

family member

- [COOK-1862] - add `name` attribute to metadata.rb

# git v2.0.0:

This version uses platform_family attribute, making the cookbook
incompatible
with older versions of Chef/Ohai, hence the major version bump.

- [COOK-1668] - git cookbook fails to run due to bad platform_family
  call
- [COOK-1759] - git::source needs additional package for rhel
  platform_family
