Hi,
After noticing that my knife bootstrapped node doesn’t update itself
automatically, I’ve created a ticket to make knife bootstrap no
different from apt client install, but it was closed as invalid.
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-3310
I wonder what do people here think about that different methods of
Chef Client installation lead to different result? Is it a nice
feature or inevitable evil?

If you don't like the default behavior simply make your own template
and use that.
Templates go into .chef/bootstrap/template.erb (in your repo or in
~/.chef) use -d name to use your template or use --template-file if
you want to put them someplace else. Use the the builtin templates
from chef source as examples:
https://github.com/opscode/chef/tree/master/chef/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap
IMO the current behavior of default templates (gem install) is what
people expect. Changing this now would probably cause some people
serious pain. Especially considering how easy it is to customize to
your needs.

Just a heads up, with Chef 10.10 we changed the default bootstrap to
the omnibus installer.

I am only trying to start with Chef and I used to installing stuff
from packages. IIRC Chef didn't allow me to see which templates are
available and applicable to my platform. Anyway, the inconsistent
behavior doesn't seem like a bug to me anymore, but an omission from
official docs to explain that installation from package is different
from standard installation.
