[chef-dev] 1/30 Opscode Code Review

[Bryan McLellan < >]

We've been busy all night helping the Rubygems.org folks get rebuilt using 
Chef. There are some different workflow choices than we normally use, so I've 
found it interesting. You can checkout their git repository here:

https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems-aws

To merge:
  CHEF-3364 - Fix up Smartos Package provider
  COOK-2300 - You should be able to define a nagios_service into the "all" 
host group
  COOK-2291 - Add additional tunables to the fail2ban cookbook
  COOK-874 - select components to include in sources.list via an attribute in 
the ubuntu cookbook
  COOK-2219 - Support proxy_read_timeout (in nginx.conf)
  COOK-2232 - Provide PGDG yum repo to install postgresql 9.x on 
redhat-derived distributions
  COOK-2297 - more gracefully handle pip packages from VCS and source archives
  COOK-2304 - nginx cookbook should install 1.2.6 not 1.2.3 for source 
installs
  COOK-2305 - nginx cookbook should use platform_family not platform
  COOK-2306 - FoodCritic fixes for java cookbook

Other:
  CHEF-2821 - add "--sudo-use-password" option to knife bootstrap to tell 
sudo to read --ssh-password from stdin

  Reopened - Use shellout please
  CHEF-2576 - Omnibus for Joyent SmartMachines
  Reopened - Many, many patches, without explanation
  CHEF-3802 - omnibus package symlinks not created for chef-apply, chef-shell

  CHEF-3803 - mount resource does not update fstab entry when mount options 
have changed
  Reopened - Needs test
  CHEF-3804 - device_mount_regex in mount provider does not handle symlinks 
correctly
  Reopened - Needs test
  COOK-1059 - Update attributes in mysql cookbook to support missing options 
for my.cnf usable by Percona
  Reopened - Values don't appear to be backward compatible
  COOK-2287 - Add support for installing Erlang from source
  Reopened - Use separate recipes for install_methods
  COOK-2293 - Ohai attributes on first run points to embedded Ruby
  Reopened - This node attribute hack will not work on Chef 11
  COOK-2296 - mod_auth_openid doesn't have tags/releases for the version I 
need for features and fixes
  Reopened - The version and ref attributes don't provide a workable solution
