Hello,
I have a following question. I deployed a bunch of scripts from several
git repositories using an SCM resource to a number of workstations. Now
I need to move some of repositories. I updated the repository attribute
of my resources to point to new locations, but chef-0.9.6 seems to
ignore the changes and tries to sync using old uri.
One solution is to delete the deployed repositories and run chef-client
to deploy them afresh. I sure there must be a better way. Folks?
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry
Yo,
How did you update the attributes? If you used 'default' then chef
will not change a node's attribute if it's already there:

well, by attributes I mean atributes of the scm resource, like here:
scm tool do
destination "#{node[:tools][:prefix]}/#{tool}"
repository "#{node[:tools][:repo]}/#{tool}"
action :sync
provider "git"
end
looks like chef doesn't make sure the git remote of a cloned repo
matches the repository attribute provided. Is it a feature?

For the git provider, there was already a bug:
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-955
I just cloned the bug for Subversion as
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-1662, but I don't have access to edit
bug descriptions so someone with more access than me might want to edit
that...
