[chef] Re: Re: Defunct Cookbooks on Opscode

["Scott M. Likens" < >]

Generally if a cookbook needs to be replaced; the author of the cookbook can release his cookbook from community.opscode.com and have someone else upload their cookbook to replace it.  Completely voluntary it has transpired previously and likely could again. :)


Also Supermarket I believe will help this problem to a degree.   (See Forward)

Ohai Chefs,

This year at the Chef Summit, we announced and open sourced Supermarket and we are inviting you to hack! Supermarket is Opscode's new ICLA site and the framework for the new community and cookbook sharing application.

We built and demoed the ICLA functionality at Summit and are working closely to integrate supermarket into our systems to automate the existing contribution process. We are going to build the CCLA components next and then move on to developing the cookbook API. We are encouraging everyone in the community to start discussions and ideas about what the top features in the new community site should (or should not) be. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Suggest a feature and get buy-in from community members
• Develop an algorithm or system for objective cookbook quality measures
• Propose a process for subjective cookbook measurements
• Request API endpoints you think should exist and why

Unfortunately you cannot yet use this site to sign the CLA that we require for you to contribute to this site, but your existing Opscode CLA does suffice (can you feel the irony?). BUT, we are not using JIRA, so everything (Pull Requests, Issues, Suggestions, and Code) is done through GitHub! And that’s just a sneak peek of some of the awesomeness you can expect soon :).

It looks like Supermarket will replace the Community site

This is a long-standing question, and has yet to be fully detailed as to how this would happen.

I'll defer answering to Chef Community leaders, such as Nathen Hervey?

Hi all-

I’m wondering what the official policy / process is to replace defunct or obsolete cookbooks from the Opscode repository? I see for instance the ‘rvm’ cookbook is totally broken and outdated, and there’s a very nice one on Github. Curious how one can go about replacing it…

Regards,

Daniel
