[chef] Chef 0.7.14 / Ohai 0.3.6: Monday Release

[Arjuna Christensen < >]

Hi all,

Just a note to say that we've closed the final tickets for Chef 0.7.14 and Ohai 0.3.6 and will be looking to release Monday next week.

Current release notes:

Bug

• [CHEF-454] - Centos4 yum provider failure
• [CHEF-565] - dpkg provider fails at packages with a dash in it, causing packages to be re-installed on every chef run
• [CHEF-570] - Portage package provider uses wrong regexp in load_current_resource
• [CHEF-577] - provider.rb doesn't give @definitions a default value of Hash.new, causing epic fail in resource DSL
• [CHEF-588] - RC is missing debugging info in find_preferred_file
• [CHEF-591] - if service doesn't have a status command, process table inspection fails in simple service provider
• [CHEF-593] - deploy resource is not idempotent
• [CHEF-602] - in deploy provider, callback-defined resources are executed in all subsequent callbacks
• [CHEF-603] - deploy: gems.yml support
• [CHEF-604] - deploy: sudo / run command handler support
• [CHEF-614] - LWRP undefined local variable or method `new_resource'
• [CHEF-619] - Mixlib-* gems installed from gemcutter.org have too restrictive permissions
• [CHEF-621] - LWRP dynamic attribute methods are Ruby 1.9 incompatible and cause warnings in 1.8
• [CHEF-628] - Deploy resource removes newest release instead of oldest

Improvement

• [CHEF-620] - LWRP components should be shown in Web UI
• [CHEF-622] - Gem Package resource/provider shouldn't silently ignore the options attribute

Please actively test gems built from opscode/master [1] or contact me off-list if you need gems hosted.
