[chef-dev] ANNOUNCE: RFC: Cookbook Versioning Policy

[Mike < >]

Ohai Chefs!

First off, Happy Tuesday!

After the Chef Summit 2012, where the topic of Cookbook Versioning was
discussed by many, Kevin Christen reached out on the dev list with a
proposal to start by figuring out what each part of a cookbook's
version number should encompass.

We wrote back and forth a bit, and Kevin did most of the heavy lifting
(writing?), and we are now happy to announce that we're looking for
comments from both Opscode and the community.

For your review:

(should be world-viewable)

The goal is that by having a documented changes-to-revision policy, we
will be able to produce better predictability when it comes to
releases, and have a higher degree of predictability when using
someone else's code.

Please feel free to email Kevin & myself directly with your feedback,
or respond to this thread on the list, so others can chime in.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions,
Mike Fiedler & Kevin Christen
