+Package Installer
+=============
+
+Simple cookbook for managing package versions on a node.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Attributes
+----------
+
+Define packages (and optionally version restrictions and action type) within the role:
+
+
+```ruby
+  override_attributes(
+    :package_installer => {
+      :packages => {
+        'vim' => nil,
+        'mailutils' => {
+          :version => '2.2'
+        },
+        'emacs' => {
+          :action => :upgrade
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  )
+```
+
+By default the :upgrade action is used. If you want to keep the package
+pegged, simply specify a version or use the :install action.
