Folks,

I created the following script to automatically download latest chef  
server 11 ubuntu packages and add them to local repository:

#!/bin/bash  
set -u -e  
exec \>\> $0.log 2\>&1

PLATFORM=ubuntu  
PLATFORM\_VERSION=12.04  
ARCHITECTURE=x86\_64  
MAX\_LOG\_SIZE=1000000

PKG\_URL="[http://www.opscode.com/chef/download-server?p=](http://www.opscode.com/chef/download-server?p=){PLATFORM}&pv={PLATFORM\_VERSION}&m=${ARCHITECTURE}&v=latest&prerelease=true&nightlies=true"  
LOCATION\_FILE=$HOME/chef-server-location

old\_location=$(cat LOCATION\_FILE) new\_location=(curl -sIL “$PKG\_URL”|grep ^Location)  
[“$old\_location” == "new\_location"] && exit echo "(date) started"  
wget -nv --content-disposition “$PKG\_URL"  
mv chef-server\_11\*.deb /var/www/deb-box/incoming/precise/testing  
echo “$new\_location” \>LOCATION\_FILE echo "(date) completed”  
(($(stat -c %s $0.log) \> $MAX\_LOG\_SIZE)) && mv $0.log $0.log.old

During last 3 days this script downloaded the following files:

chef-server\_11.0.0-alpha.3+20130130075202.git.38.3332a80-1.ubuntu.11.04\_amd64.deb  
chef-server\_11.0.0-alpha.3+20130128075214.git.37.d143b92-1.ubuntu.12.04\_amd64.deb  
chef-server\_11.0.0-alpha.3+20130129075201.git.38.3332a80-1.ubuntu.11.04\_amd64.deb  
chef-server\_11.0.0-alpha.3+20130129051708.git.38.3332a80-1.ubuntu.12.04\_amd64.deb

Do I understand correctly that 11.04 in the name corresponds to ubuntu  
version this package is intended for? If yes looks like setting pv  
parameter doesn’t work as expected. May I ask somebody aware of details  
clarify this?

Thanks,  
Kirill.

11.04 is what it was built on. When possible, our build system uses a  
single build from one system, then runs it through tests on multiple  
other platforms/versions before release. You can see these  
relationships here:

[https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef/blob/master/jenkins/chef.json#L131](https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef/blob/master/jenkins/chef.json#L131)

That section shows that we use an Ubuntu 11.04 x64 system as a build  
system for Ubuntu 11.04, 11.10, 12.04 & 12.10 x64 systems.

Folks,

looks like new chef server packages are not downloaded any more using  
link below. Please let me know what is current way of getting latest  
chef-server binary packages for ubuntu.

Thanks,  
Kirill.

Krill,  
Try setting the "prerelease" and "nightlies" query string parameters to "false". This will ensure you are only pulling down the latest release builds. Here are a few example Omnitruck queries:
