[chef] Re: How to freeze the cookbook based upon the chef environment?

[Matthew Moretti < >]

Use the cookbook_versions method in your production environment file. So, something like:

cookbook_versions {"unicorn" => "= x.y.z", "rails" => "~> x.y"}

See:

Hi Chef fellas!

On my chef-server, I've a rails app running in chef's production env.

Now I want to tweak and test the configuration of the unicorn in the chef environment in a separate instance.

When the chef-client of the production node runs, it checks in the WIP cookbook/recipes and try to apply. Since the tweaks is not finalized, it might break the running production app.

So, how can I freeze the cookbook/recipe just for the node/chef production environment only??
