Hi Chefs!

Two topics about our APT repository.

1. While we've recently released 0.9.10 and 0.9.12, we haven't updated the 
packages on the APT repository yet. We're working on a configuration 
incompatibility resolution for the chef server. There are two settings that 
point to the same place:

checksum_path (server.rb)
cache_options (client.rb)

The code in 0.9.10 that clears out the unneeded cached checksum files for 
cache_options will also remove the files in the checksum_path, as they're the 
same location in the debs. The issue is that the checksum_path in server.rb 
specifies the location of the cookbook files. Once the package installation 
handles this gracefully without interruption or manual intervention, we'll 
post new packages. I apologize for the delay on this.

2. If you're using a Debian or Ubuntu system as the management system where 
you run knife, we have now packaged all the dependencies for knife, net-ssh 
(v2.0.23), net-ssh-multi, and fog. Since chef doesn't strictly require these 
packages to function, they aren't listed as dependencies, and as they are not 
all packaged in Debian/Ubuntu (or requisite version), we don't 
suggest/recommend either. You can install them with:

sudo apt-get install libnet-ssh-multi-ruby libfog-ruby libhighline-ruby

(highline is packaged by the distros)
