Community cookbooks updating

Mat_Davies · January 29, 2013, 11:56am

Does anyone have a tool or script that will check your chef or chef repo to
see if any of the community cookbooks are out of date with the current
community version and give you a list of those that are?

Berkshelf can do that - although that feature is tagged as beta.

Yes, the feature is beta, since it does not handle non-community site
sources.
But works quite well.

And so can librarian https://github.com/applicationsonline/librarian:

$ librarian-chef outdated [--verbose]

Both are fantastic tools for cookbook dependency management you might want
to check out if you haven't already.

Cheers, Torben

I'm using librarian... it will tell me if cookbooks that are sourced from
the community site are outdated against the community site.
but, it won't tell me if cookbooks that I've downloaded from the community
site into my local repo are now outdated (we downloaded apache2, added one
attribute to it, and now we're about 5 versions behind).

Does berkshelf check your own repo for cookbooks that are also on the
community site?

thanks guys I'll take a look at both librarian and berkshelf and see which
works better for me.
I guess I should be using one of them for cookbook management anyway.

For those not using any extra cookbook management apps I wrote a quick little Ruby script called ocd_check. It looks up every cookbook in your local chef repo against the community site

github.com

tas50/chef-tools/blob/master/ocd_check.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby
# encoding: UTF-8

# ocd_check.rb: Obsessive Cookbook Disorder Check: Simple script to check the cookbooks in your
#               local repo against the versions on the Opscode community site.  It will return
#               false positives if your cookbooks have the same name as community cookbook site
#               cookbooks.

begin
  require 'net/http'
  require 'rubygems'
  require 'json'
  require 'trollop'
rescue LoadError => e
  raise "Missing gem #{e}"
end

$opts = Trollop.options do
  opt :repo, 'Path to the cookbooks folder', :default => '~/chef-repo/cookbooks'
end
