Berkshelf instead of Librarian Chef?

[mikhailov]

Berkshelf looks like a good alternative to be used with Vagrant, see details:

What are the pros?

I mean I read the post you linked. And still can't get it. Why is it better than librarian?

[mikhailov]

maybe because Internally, Opscode is using Berkshelf, as are many people in the community

Sounds good. Are you ready to prepare pull-requests with migration to Berkshelf? It will be great to have berckshelf and librarian as adapters.

If we decide to switch to berkshelf it should be done in the manner I tried at the librarian-plugin branch. We have to require ~> 1.2 version and force berkshelf usage by the Vagrant plugin. To avoid manual run requirement (and as well separate gem installation).

The difference is more conceptual rather than practical. Berkshelf advocates the "cookbook is like a ruby gem" attitude thus Opscode people like it since they want http://community.opscode.com/ to be like http://rubygems.org/.

Is this dead in the water?

Wanted to bump this thread. Just started researching this as a Chef-alternative to Puphpet. However, the team I'm with primarily uses Berkshelf.
