A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.

ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

    500 miles??? Holy shit you'll accept any BS as fact that they spew at you on that propaganda channel. Try 13 miles [bbc.com], which hasn't even been built yet.

    Overall, $6.1bn in funding had been secured by May 2019 to build 336 miles of new and replacement border wall, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

    This includes funding approved by Congress as well as extra cash Mr Trump has been able to access since he declared a state of emergency in February.

    The 336 miles of planned barrier includes: 86 miles of "new primary wall", 24 miles of "new levee wall" and 226 miles of replacement barriers.

    About 40 miles of replacement barriers have so far been completed, with construction of a further 55 miles now under way.

    Department of Defense funding is also paying for an additional 131 miles.

    The first construction on any extension to existing structures - what could be termed new barrier - has started in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, where 13 miles of "new border wall system and levee wall system" is being built.

    Although a further 95 miles is planned for that location, construction at five major landmarks along its length has been prohibited and some landowners have gone to court in an attempt to stop building on their property.

    Despite Mr Trump's continued determination to see a wall along the border, a survey in January by the Pew Research Center suggests the majority of Americans - 58% - oppose substantially expanding it, while 40% support it.

    And don't be too impressed with any of this on account of the way he is trying to do it is unconstitutional and against the law, particularly telling subordinates to knowingly break the law and unlawfully seize property and that he would pardon them if they get arrested and charged.

    And how much of this is Mexico paying for? That was the foundation of that campaign promise. Building it to fulfill a promise doesn't count when you don't fulfill the promise.
