Brings together all the great Mac OS X Cookbooks and recipes from Fletcher Nichol (fnichol), Joshua Timberman (jtimberman), Graeme Mathieson (mathie) and Pivotal Labs (pivotal).
It also uses the fabulous new Librarian from Jay Feldblum (yfeldblum). Librarian is like Bundler for Chef Cookbooks.
This will use the Chef Server to deliver the cookbooks and utilize Data Bags. You can get free access the Opsoce Hosted Chef server for up to 5 nodes.
Tested on 0.10.8. You shouldn't be using anything earlier than 0.10.4 anyway.
Only tested on Mac OS X 10.7.2
The cookbooks that are specified in Cheffile controled by [Librarian][librarian]
You will have to make sure Xcode 4.x is installed on your Mac. There isn't really any easy way unless you have an installer already from getting Xcode from the Apple Store or as an Apple Developer
Mac OS X 10.7 already has a ruby environment. You can do:
gem install chef
Which will install the chef client.
