[chef-dev] 1/21 Opscode Code Review

[Bryan McLellan < >]

Lots of activity while I was out on vacation the last couple of weeks!

Dan's kicking out a Chef Client 11 beta shortly, so keep your eyes peeled for 
it. In the future we won't necessarily be releasing new versions of the Chef 
Client and the Chef Server at the same time.

To merge:
  CHEF-3442 - Portage package provider souldn't raise an error "Multiple 
packages found for ..." when the category is specified.
  CHEF-3731 - Delayed attribute evaluation
  CHEF-3774 - chef-client process running with a shebang '(ruby 
/usr/bin/chef-client)

Other:
  CHEF-3747 - Add ChefPackage resources
  Reviewed - Still need to talk about this
  CHEF-2821 - add "--sudo-use-password" option to knife bootstrap to tell 
sudo to read --ssh-password from stdin
  Reopened - Improve the existing functionality in Chef::Knife::Ssh
  CHEF-972 - resource action should have higher precedence than only_if/not_if
  Reopened - Reduce the duplication of code with Conditional
  CHEF-3779 - Add -A (forward SSH agent) option to knife commands
  Reopened - Needs a rebase, and a short test would be nice
  CHEF-3781 - Add knife deps and knife-essentials changes from 0.8.6
  Reopened - Separate new features from bug fixes
