berks upload option for cookbooks? #74

Open matschaffer opened 11 years ago

matschaffer commented 11 years ago

I'm working with knife-essentials and using berkshelf for cookbooks and it occured to me that a configuration option to have cookbooks upload via berks upload could be pretty sexy.

Thoughts?

Yep. I'm not 100% sure of berkshelf's cookbook storage format, but I imagine it will be doable. One difference will be that berkshelf understands multiple cookbook versions, so knife-essentials would need to learn that.

I was imagining a system call to 'berks upload' to start. Too hacky?

Well, knife diff, upload and download all first do a "diff" to figure out which (if any) cookbooks have changed, which means they need to read the cookbook on disk to find that out.

Ahh... right. I'll dig around a bit and let you know what I find out.
