Ok, I've got that in place on my qa01 - I did a chef-client stop, then a ps to make sure all chef processes were gone, so we'll see how this one goes. If you do a prerelease I can install it on another node, just let me know - and thanks.

Can do Daniel, can you tell me how I build the gem manually? I've checked out from https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef-client and https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/chef - have run Bundle install successfully, but don't see any info about how to build the gem. And, can I just build the chef-client 11 gem, and put it on an existing node that's still talking to chef-server 10.x? Thanks

You need to build the mixlib-shellout gem from master to get the fix: https://github.com/opscode/mixlib-shellout 

The process should be:

git clone

bundle install

rake gem

and then you have a gem package under pkg.

I may push a prerelease version a little later today (chatting with the team about this now). If that happens you would just do /opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem install mixlib-shellout —pre (assuming omnibus). I’ll let you know what we decide.
