[chef] Re: Updating the chef client

[Cassiano Leal < >]

I guess the best way is to use the chef-client cookbook: http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/chef-client

I haven't done a chef-client upgrade so far, but for installing and configuring the client (and running it as a daemon), that's definitely the way to go.

What's the preferred method for updating the chef client under Chef 11? There doesn't seem to be an APT repo, so I can't manage it that way... should I write a custom rule that downloads the DEB from S3 and installs it?

Also, what's the "right" way to configure the chef client to daemonize under Chef 11? The omnibus packages don't seem to include an init script that I can see.

Thanks!
