[chef] RE: question on bootstrapping a particular version of chef-server

["Van Fossan,Randy" < >]

Hi Pranoy,

To solve issues like this, I created my own custom bootstrap.  Our custom 
bootstrapper identifies the OS and installs Ruby, Gems and the Chef Client 
from rpms (from a repo) based on the OS and version.

We built the rpms with FPM (Effing Package Management) from tarballs that we 
created post ruby, gems and chef client installation for CentOS 5/6 and SLES 
10/11..
FPM -> https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/wiki

Hope this helps..

Randy

Subject: [chef] question on bootstrapping a particular version of chef-server


I am trying to find out if there is a way to bootstrap a particular version 
of chef-server using chef-solo. Currently, the Opscode wiki talks about using 
bootstrap-latest.tar.gz which gives me 0.10.8 and I would like to get 0.10.6. 
I couldn’t find any documentation on selecting a particular version.
 
I have tried bootstrap-0.10.6.tar.gz & bootstrap-0.10.6-1.tar.gz but to no 
avail. 
 
thanks in advance!
