[chef] Re: FreeBSD 9 Omnibus Packages

[Marcus van Dam < >]

Hi There,

I am currently testing the new package on a FreeBSD 9.1 AMD64 system. I 
noticed the package expects bash in /bin/bash, however FreeBSD installs 
bash into /usr/local/bin/bash.

"/tmp/tmp.XXXXXXXX.fd1V34Kl/chef--freebsd-9-amd64.sh: ./makeselfinst: 
/bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"

As a workaround you can symlink bash to /bin/bash and the installer works.

As soon as the ticket system is back up I will file this minor bug.

In the general opinion, should the chef directory remain in the /etc 
folder or should it be moved to /usr/local/etc on BSD systems as their 
FSH dictates? If so there should be some changes to bootstrap script and 
the chef-client cookbook.

Kind regards,

Marcus van Dam
