[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: community cookbooks updating

For those not using any extra cookbook management apps I wrote a quick little Ruby script called ocd_check.  It looks up every cookbook in your local chef repo against the community site

thanks guys I'll take a look at both librarian and berkshelf and see which works better for me.

I guess I should be using one of them for cookbook management anyway.

but, it won't tell me if cookbooks that I've downloaded from the community site into my local repo are now outdated (we downloaded apache2, added one attribute to it, and now we're about 5 versions behind).

Does berkshelf check your own repo for cookbooks that are also on the community site?

And so can librarian:

$ librarian-chef outdated [--verbose]

Both are fantastic tools for cookbook dependency management you might want to check out if you haven't already.

Berkshelf can do that - although that feature is tagged as beta.
