Adding git in the picture is NOT an option for us currently.

It may be worth using git just to be able to use berkshelf. Look at svn2git to mirror your changes to svn.

Since we use SVN and not git, Berkshefl can’t help me.

Are you using any sort of cookbook dependency management tool? (Berkshelf, librarian, etc) If not, it sounds like adopting one of those tools and installing/using it on Jenkins would greatly simplify your workflow.

I’m trying to setup my existing RHEL Jenkins build slaves to orchestrate deploying and installing our product on multiple servers. I have a set of Jenkins jobs that deploy ProdA,
and then a different, but similar, set of Jenkins jobs deploy ProdB. Both Jenkins job sets “can” be running on the “same” build slave. However, ProdA may require a different set of cookbooks that ProdB. Therefore, my solution is to checkout the corresponding
set of cookbooks for ProdA and ProdB, and since each job set runs on a different Jenkins $WORKSPACE directory, my cookbooks directory locations do not clash. I can then have the Jenkins jobs upload their cookbooks to the server – so far so good.
However, how do I orchestrate my knife.rb file to point to the corresponding cookbook_path? Remember I’m doing two Jenkins job sets on the “same” build slave, meaning I’ll have
one .chef/knife.rb file at any one time. I’m aware of the knife block plugin
Make sense?
