Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a way to configure the Chef Solo provisioner 
so that it skips the Chef omnibus installer?  
I am using vagrant to provision an ARM system running Debian Jessie (using 
the vagrant-managed-servers plugin) and the Chef omnibus installer is 
failing because that is not a supported platform. Full error message is at 
the bottom of this post. 

I am able to install Chef on the ARM system using the gem, so I just need 
the provisioner to skip the installer and use the already-installed chef 
client instead.

Thanks,
Andrew

p.s.   Here is the output from "vagrant provision":

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

curl -sL https://www.chef.io/chef/install.sh | sudo bash

ERROR 404
Omnitruck artifact does not exist for version  on platform debian

Either this means:
   - We do not support debian
   - We do not have an artifact for

This is often the latter case due to running a prerelease or RC version of 
chef
or a gem version which was only pushed to rubygems and not omnitruck.

You may be able to set your knife[:bootstrap_version] to the most recent 
stable
release of Chef to fix this problem (or the most recent stable major 
version number).

In order to test the version parameter, adventurous users may take the 
Metadata URL
below and modify the '&v=<number>' parameter until you successfully get a 
URL that
does not 404 (e.g. via curl or wget).  You should be able to use '&v=11' or 
'&v=12'
succesfully.

If you cannot fix this problem by setting the bootstrap_version, it 
probably means
that debian is not supported.
