Deprecation: Easy Install Resource (CHEF-6)
The Python community recommends that users prefer pip
rather than
easy_install
to install python packages.
The easy_install
resource was deprecated in Chef Infra Client 12.10, and
will be removed in Chef Infra Client 13.
The Cookstyle cop ChefDeprecations/EasyInstallResource has been introduced to detect this deprecation.
Remediation
There is no built-in replacement for easy_install
in Chef Infra Client
at this time.
