Still working on it, but at first glance the chef client installation as
documented on the wiki is not working correctly. It installs the server
even when specifying chef::client, chef path is not set to /srv/chef as the
default as stated in the readme, and the file mode in the recipe is a
string, chef seems to expect an integer. The recipes also assume that all
the gem binaries are in /usr/bin.
This is version 0.5.6.

I believe Josh is working through some changes on the wiki for the
upcoming 0.6 release (which can be tested as 0.5.7), so this
information may not necessarily be "in sync".

Ya 0.5.7 looks like what I should be testing with, as the installation stuff
looks quite a bit more complete.

Hello Chris,
First, I apologize for any confusion and inconvenience.
I've updated the "Installing Chef from HEAD" page to reflect changes
that 0.5.7 brings.
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+from+HEAD
The bootstrap-0.5.6.tar.gz cookbook bundle doesn't configure clients,
just server. Version 32 [1] of the main Installation page describes
how to install using the older method. Do note that the 0.5.6 version
will start Chef Server as a runit service, and 0.5.7+ will run Chef
Server as a Rack app under Passenger+Apache. Also, we have a page that
describes how to switch from a runit-based chef-server to Passenger [2].
We think the new procedure is better, as fronting chef-server with
Apache+Passenger allows stronger security control.

So I've been playing with the 0.5.7 bundle. Not sure how to handle the gem
installation correctly, as it can't find the 0.5.7 version. Since I wanted
a custom installation bundle anyways I just took the 0.5.7 bundle cookbooks
and put them in my own solo bundle, along with the 0.5.7 gem which I install
before running chef-solo.
The only bug I've ran across so far is that runit attributes/sv_bin.rb
defines the location of sv, but I think that's happening before runit is
installed because it's in the attributes, so the symlinking of chef-client
to /etc/init.d/chef-client fails. I moved the definition to
definitions/runit_service.rb and that works.

Ah, new installation method looks cool . I'll spin up a new
chef server with it (will need to adapt your procedure for the
CentOS-on-EC2 and VMware environments I've been dealing with) and,
provided it doesn't have the problem I had with Apache w/ssl+proxy +
runit wrt OpenID, I'll close http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-236
