That version of omnibus is way less hacked up than it used to be; I know Ben's still working on improvements there, as time permits. From what I recall, there's a bit or two that doesn't build properly by default. It's definitely not a pkgtrans of the Sol11 bits - it's a real build.
I'm gonna take a whack at building it right now; I'll go file bugs as I find stuff. Working with a checkout of https://github.com/opscode/omnibus-chef from 5 minutes ago, in a base64 13.4.1 zone. If chef-on-SmartOS is important to you, make sure you keep mentioning it so folks at both Joyent and Chef-nee-Opscode know how useful proper support is ;-) --e On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 7:16 AM, Coy Hile via smartos-discuss < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I’ve seen Ben’s mentions in presentations and the like of using his hacked > up omnibus installer for Chef Solo on SmartOS, and I myself currently am > playing with the one he graciously hosts on cuddletech for 11.6.0.
