Installing Virtuoso with Chef

Are you aware of a Chef.io cookbook for deploying and configuring Virtuoso 6.xx?

    Oscar,

    Note that iscape can be run in command line mode too, so it is very suitable to be scripted. We actually do this here - one of my team has some perl code which checks the releases on downloads and updates our installations when new hotfixes are available (which is great for customer support). I even have some expect scripts (which I have developed over the years) which answer the questions when running the configuration.

    If Chef supports some scripting (which from a very quick glance it does), then I assume you could incorporate that somehow.

    As I said, I'm the wrong person to answer because I'm really not that familiar with Chef - but there is the ability to script the iscape runs which would avoid the need for lots of GUI interactions.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
