[chef] Re: Suggested way to upgrade chef-client?

[Steffen Gebert < >]

Hi all,

thanks for your response and the pointer to omnibus_updater.

Unfortunately this failed for me in the installer recipe in this line:
> subscribes :create,
"remote_file[omnibus_remote[#{File.basename(remote_path)}]]", :immediately
(some of that usual thing "cannot use nil as string" or so..).

Is it supposed to work also with an apt-repo based chef10 or do you I
need already an omnibus installation?

I already managed to upgrade about the half of our nodes with a custom
recipe that purges the old package, removes the repo, downloads the
platform-specific .deb an installs it.

Yours
Steffen
