[chef] RE: Cookbook versions

To download the cookbook I am using ‘knife node cookbook java download’.  I would just use a subversion repository, but I had to put my chef server outside the firewall and so it doesn’t have access to subversion.

Subject: Cookbook versions

 

I don’t know if I am just missing something obvious or what, but is there a way to download/update your cookbook without downloading it to a directory with the version number?

 

For example, if I download my latest java cookbook, it will download it to a directory called java-0.1.3 instead of just to the java directory.  I have tried using the -d flag to specify the cookbooks/java directory, but it just downloads it to cookbooks/java/java-0.1.3. 

 

If I then make modifications to the scripts in java-0.1.3 I have to copy the modifications to the java directory to actually upload the cookbook.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance!
