Ohai Chefs,
I’ve just released version 2.0.0 of the build-essential cookbook. This release brings you the following:
Updated tested harnesses to use latest ecosystem tools
Added support for FreeBSD
Added support for installing XCode Command Line Tools on OSX (10.7, 10.8, 10.9)
Created a DSL method for wrapping compile_time vs runtime execution
Install additional developement tools on some platforms
Add nicer log and warning messages with helpful information
Potentially Breaking Changes
Dropped support for OSX 10.6
OSX no longer downloads OSX GCC and uses XCode CLI tools instead
build_essential -> build-essential in node attributes
compiletime -> compile_time in node attributes
Please note - this is a major version bump and does include some breaking API changes (mainly around attribute names). We tried to retain backwards compatibility as much as possible, so please check the output of your chef-client run for any deprecation warnings. BC fixes will be removed in 3.0.0.
You can view the full CHANGELOG here: https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/build-essential/compare/v1.4.2...v2.0.0
Happy compiling!
Seth
