[chef] Preventing the deletion of cache when running chef-client -o

[Chris Sibbitt < >]

Hi Chefs.

 

When I do a `chef-client –o just_one_cookbook` it removes all the other cookbooks from the cache because they are “no longer needed on this client”. Then next time a scheduled run occurs all the cookbooks get downloaded again. For various reasons I’d rather this didn’t happen.

 

I tried putting this in the client.rb file:

 

cache_options({ :skip_expires => true})

 

But it does not affect this behavior.

 

Can anyone point me to a way of preventing this cache cleanup when using an run_list override?

 

Thanks!
