For opscodes bento built boxes, we rebuild the entire box. However for my own I have done this:

Hey Chefs,

what's the best way to update the Chef version that is installed on a

Vagrant Basebox?

Right now I'm using an Ubuntu 12.04 basebox with Chef 10.12.0. Is

there a recipe or so to update the chef client to a specific version?

Or would it be better to do that with a :shell provisionier before the

:chef_solo provision so that the latest version will be readily

availabe upopn the first chef run?

I wouldn't want to manage thousands of baseboxes for any comnbination

of OS + Chef (+ VBox Guestadditions btw) version.

Whats your appoach to this?

Cheers,

Torben
