How many repos are you mirroring? Did you script out the local repo creation 
somehow or just manually hammer through creating and syncing the repos?

Thanks,
Bernie

Subject: [chef] Re: Re: Community Cookbooks Mirror

To address this we mirrored community github repos to our internal git repos 
and had Jenkins jobs push the changes up to our Chef non-prod and prod 
servers. This allowed us to do code reviews and sign off on cookbooks (these 
cookbooks are running as root on your servers!) and get around firewall 
issues, etc. We used the Jenkins Job DSL to easily add jobs. It also gave us 
a way to have stewards of community cookbooks in a big organization.

It's not perfect though, sometimes community cookbooks don't use tags, some 
aren't in github, or the binaries in supermarket are not the same as the 
source code, etc. But it worked pretty OK (TM)

We’re heavily using community cookbooks, which is made difficult by our 
firewall. Specifically when a cookbook depends on other cookbooks that live 
inside and outside of our firewall. Ultimately, I want to be able to mirror 
the community cookbooks internally. Seems like an easy thing to script up, 
unless someone else has already done so or I’m missing some ‘mirroring’ 
functionality in Chef Server or Supermarket.

Anyone setup a mirror of the community Chef cookbooks?
