[chef] Re: Chef12 and backup

[Tiago Cruz < >]

Hum... so, just to confirm:

Now that the update has been done, I can just run "rpm -e chef-server" and be happy?

~]$ rpm -qa | grep chef

chef-server-11.0.12-1.el6.x86_64

chef-server-core-12.0.0-1.el6.x86_64

chef-12.0.0-1.x86_64

Thanks a lot, Lamont!

yeah, the chef-11 rubygems is ancient and probably doesn't support that option.

you can do:  `/opt/chef/embedded/bin/gem update --system` which will update to 2.4.5, but then you'll have all the fun of recompiling all of the native gems in the bundle and any that you've chef_gem installed (it'll complain about the need to 'gem pristine' various gems).

i'd advise getting off of chef-11 ASAP.  as issues with the old rubygems become worse we won't be able to solve them by rolling it forwards in chef-11.

we're going to look at doing the next release of chef-11 with the maximum rubygems bump that we can make which may make it more maintainable, but chef-11 may fairly quickly run out of usable runway.

Thanks Lamont!

Where should I pass this option?

~]# /opt/opscode/embedded/bin/gem install knife-ec-backup
--minimal-deps
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
    invalid option: --minimal-deps

~]# /opt/opscode/embedded/bin/gem install --minimal-deps
knife-ec-backup
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
    invalid option: --minimal-deps

~]# /opt/opscode/embedded/bin/gem --minimal-deps install
knife-ec-backup
ERROR:  Invalid option: --minimal-deps.  See 'gem --help'.

Thanks a lot!

    you should be able to fix that by adding --minimal-deps
