Description

GreenScreen is a build monitoring tool that is designed to be used as a dynamic Big Visible Chart (BVC) in your work area. It lets you add links to your build servers and displays the largest possible information on a monitor so that the team can see the build status from anywhere in the room.

This cookbook configures a node to run one or more GreenScreen applications. The cookbook uses [CustomInk's clone of the original GreenScreen project](git://github.com/customink/greenscreen.git).

Changes/Roadmap

v0.0.3

• Fix a bug with the config template that was not properly handling explicit jobs or jobs to ignore

v0.0.2

• Fix a bug with the default attributes
• No longer do a git pull with each chef run, this was causing failures when the config.yml was updated.
