igal / pocketknife Goto Github PK

I see chef's timer is working, but one that starts at pocketknife run, then ends after last cookbook would be nice.

Just wondering. Is this abandonned? If so, could you explain whether it's a lack of time, a lack of interest, or perhaps a better alternative that's out there (I'm aware of soloist and some cap-chef combinations, but none seem as organized as this).

I only ask because there are a few pull requests that seem to have some good code, and yet there's no communication from the maintainer in the threads.

Thanks anyhow though. I don't mean to seem ungrateful for the great codebase to work with -- just wondering what I'm getting into if I fork :)

How about using rsync to minimize time to upload changed cookbooks/.../files?

Apparently a number of people have forked the project, rather than file issues or pull requests. I'd like to review what they've been up to and merge whatever changes are appropriate.

Some people prefer to use either the chef-packages provided by opscode or the distribution instead of rubygems. It would be cool to have an option for that.

It looks like root is hardcoded in node.rb as the SSH user. The problem I am having is EC2 server have a user called ubuntu instead.

Would you accept a PR to allow this to be configured as a command line option?
