DESCRIPTION:

Chef is a systems management framework masquerading as a configuration management tool.

I’m in ur netwerk, cookin up yer servers. :)

REQUIREMENTS:

chef:

• ruby-openid
• json
• erubis
• extlib
• stomp
• ohai

chef-server and the chefserverslice (merb slice), same requires as chef above, plus:

• stompserver
• ferret
• merb-core
• merb-haml
• mongrel
• haml
• ruby-openid
• syntax

Interim Note:

Once the {chef,chef-server,chefserverslice}.gem set is installed, do the following:

     > cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/chef-server<xxx> # or wherever your gems land
     > sudo rake slices:chefserverslice:install

This installs the chefserverslice into the chef-server merb application
