[chef] Re: Re: Re: Omnibus Client installer open beta

[Sascha Bates < >]

I did it in June so my memory is sketchy.  But I believe I downloaded an OS-agnostic version (like a .tgz set) and installed from the command line.  I also think I had to work some bugs fixes into it, but I don't think it was related to RH4 - just an early version of the omnibus.

The client I was at elected to compile their own ruby on RH4 instead of using the omnibus at that time, but I did get it working.

You can read the install.sh and see the URL where the omnibus is coming from:
url=""http://s3.amazonaws.com/opscode-full-stack/$platform-$platform_version-$machine/$filename"

This page has an xml listing of all the packages: http://s3.amazonaws.com/opscode-full-stack

I'm pretty sure I just grabbed one of the existing red hat installs for 5.x and was able to get it to work.  I was pretty excited when I managed, but truthfully I can't remember if I did anything special.

Sorry to be so not-helpful :)

So, how do I move forward getting this to our RedHat EL4 boxes (since I can't drop off the roof just yet).  I only see RHEL5/6 as supported.

Thanks,

Peter
