1	Contributing changes to cookbooks back to the community I’ve been working with a local chef server in a manner similar to how the “Getting Started” tutorial sets you up: forking the chef-repo repository, using ‘knife cookbook site vendor’ to download cookbooks and ‘knife cookbook upload’ to upload them to the chef server. I’m making changes to some of the downloaded cookbooks and keeping them in my chef-repo fork. I would like to push some of these changes back to the community, as they are general-purpose enhancements and seem like they’d be useful to a broader audience. What is the best way to do that? more → cookbooks contributing development	1	914	psndcsrv
0	problems with package provider and remote sources I have a very simple recipe that tries to install a (yum) package from a remote repo, as follows: `package "passenger-release" do source node["passenger-rpm"]["releaserpm"] action :install end` I’ve checked that on the target node, node[“passenger-rpm”][“releaserpm”] is defined properly, i.e. “http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/fedora/16/passenger-release.noarch.rpm” When I try to run this, chef-client spits out a very bizarre error: [Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:41:42 -0400] INFO: Processing package[passenger-release] action install (passenger-rpm::default line 25) [Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:44:55 -0400] WARN: Problem parsing line 'samba4-pidl 0 4.0.0 37.alpha16.fc16 x86_64 ['perl(Parse::Pidl) = 0.02', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::CUtil) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Compat) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Dump) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Expr)', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::IDL)', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::NDR) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::ODL) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba3::ClientNDR) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba3::ServerNDR) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::COM::Header) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::COM::Proxy) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::COM::Stub) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::Header) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Client) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Parser) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::NDR::Server) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba4::Python) = 0.01', 'perl(Parse::Pidl::Samba' from yum-dump.py!
