[chef] Berkshelf

[Morgan Blackthorne < >]

I recently moved over to generating my Berksfile via ERB, as we have two different chef orgs, one of which is for testing and uses a different set of branches than the main set for our internal repos.

How difficult will it be for me to move from a Berksfile like so:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

#^syntax detection

  site :opscode

end

group :github do

  cookbook 'airbrake_handler', github: 'cgriego/chef-airbrake_handler', protocol: :https

  cookbook 'irc_handler',      github: 'bflad/chef-irc_handler',        protocol: :https

end

group :rst do

<% subdir_list.each do |cb| %>

  cookbook '<%= cb %>', git: 'ssh:// /chef/rs-cookbooks.git"> /chef/rs-cookbooks.git', rel: '<%= cb %>'<%= branch %>

<% end %>

end

# vim: ai et ts=2 sts=2 sw=2 ft=ruby fdm=marker

Over to using Berks3? I'm not sure exactly what changed and what depends on the new API server so I'm not sure if I'd need that or not.

Also, I know we're using subdirectories of a repo, vs individual repos per cookbook which is the commonly accepted solution in the community. Does anyone happen to know how to set up a Bamboo plan to fire off on multiple repository triggers?
