I have also included ongoing proxy support in the SMF manifest. Beforehand the http_proxy environment would be established for the bootstrap session, but not for the chef-client SMF instance.

This allows --bootstrap-proxy to carry into service invocations of chef-client (as would be expected).

Add @jperkin's interim fix for non-zero exit codes on pkgin install on the latest SmartOS images.

As of 2013-09-09 the bootstrap on http://wiki.joyent.com/wiki/display/jpc2/Joyent+ChefServer+SmartMachine has a defect that prevents it from setting the chef_environment correctly on nodes being bootstrapped. It also has a defect in that it doesn't set the http_proxy for the running chef_client service. Both of these issues are addressed in my version.

My version also addresses a temporary issue in pkgin with base/base64 13.0.2 images where it exits with code 1 if the package being installed or any of its dependencies are already installed. The fix is @jperkin's upgrade of pkg_install which has the workaround (pkg_add -u pkg_install).

Followed the latest ubuntu12.04-gems.erb to make a bootstrap that supports Ohai hints and supports chef-client without special parameters. Configuration is now stored in /etc/chef like other platforms.

This no longer includes the SMF instance which runs convergence with 30-minute delays between runs. Again, this change is intended to make the SmartMachine bootstrap consistent with other platforms.

I will provide an alternative bootstrap that includes the SMF service for those who want it.
