  • Cinc Server 15.0.9 status

  • Build completed but running into run time issues related to paths that should be using dist constants

  • I'm working through those issues right now and will be providing an upstream PR once I get them all resolved on our end

  • I'll backport this fix to get 15.0.9 to run properly. I hope to get it fixed/released in the next few days

Reminder to Chef Devs: Please remember to use Dist constants !!!

See you next week!
