[chef] Re: RHL 4

["Wolfe, Eric G" < >]

Best bet is a Rubygem install of Chef.  You also need yum on the RHEL4 
machine to satisfy the Chef yum provider.

I have 3 remaining RHEL4 machines.  Automating those legacy machines will 
accelerate migration to RHEL6 in my case.

Something to consider, will Chef accelerate a migration in the future, or 
could you forgo automating your legacy system and just rebuild the 
application faster on a newer release of RHEL?

I would go with the least amount of effort.  It is worth it to automate the 
legacy if it will save time/effort down the road.

Hi All,

New to the lists here. I've recently discovered that I need to support RHL-4 
at least in a deprecation phase.

Has any one experience installing the client on RHL-4?
What's needed to get the chef-client installer working for RHL-4 ?

Thanks
