Version 1.7.1 not on chef supermarket? #69

Closed gsaslis closed 9 years ago

gsaslis commented 9 years ago

So, https://supermarket.getchef.com/cookbooks/users reports that the latest available version is 1.7.0 .

Had troubles using this cookbook, so I thought I'd dive into the source a little, so I come here and I find master is already on 1.7.1, but I can't find that anywhere.

Shouldn't 1.7.1 also be available on the :opscode site? Or is it completely unstable / we shouldn't be using 1.7.1 ?

This cookbook follows a practice of using an odd patch version to denote "development" versions. This is because chefs cookbook versions don't support alpha version strings like "1.7.1.dev" or "1.7.1.alpha".

This is because of the way versions are treated as separate entities on the chef server so that users can use the git repository with, for example, berkshelf. This is considered "unreleased" and "use at your own risk" though we try to ensure that master isn't horribly broken.
