cvs_wrapper cookbook

Requirements

During the development of this cookbook, the main tool used is chefdk, which code is available here. There are some additional gems that are documented in the project Gemfile. This also allows development in older environments (in general I take my code with me in a USB stick) like MacOSX 10.7, where chefdk is not supported, but the gem version of the tools can be used.

To allow seemless integration of gems, I am using the following approach:

• use direnv and a .envrc file to ensure the chefdk ruby environment is used when switching to the project folder.

  use_chefdk() {
    eval "$(chef shell-init zsh)"
  }
  use chefdk
  

  Just use your preferred shell instead of zsh.

• use the first folder from gem env gempath (which should be a user folder) as destination for the bundle install

• bundle install --path $(gem env gempath | cut -f1 -d\: | sed -e 's/\/ruby\/2.1.0//g')

• as a note, the vendor/bundle could also be used, but my goal is integrating with the chefdk installation (via bundler).

This adds some gem duplication right now, but I hope everything is ok (work in progress).

Usage

This cookbook allows to different setups. In static mode ( node[:cvs_wrapper][:style] = "static") it will determine the connectivity to the different CVS repositories and configure the SSH tunnels accordingly.

In automatic mode (node[:cvs_wrapper][:style] = "auto") it will perform the connectivity check at runtime. This requires sudo access for the user so that it can modify the /etc/hosts file during runtime.

node[:cvs_wrapper][:sudo] controls that (the default is true). Otherwise, the changing of the /etc/hosts file is out of scope.

Ideally the cookbook should allow for other solutions, but that is covering my use cases.
