[chef-dev] chef_gem is wrong answer

[Akzhan Abdulin < >]

Hello Chiefs,

I think thank realizing of chef_gem resource is wrong answer for embedding gems into chef run life.

This is because some cookbooks will require differenct versions of the gem with all usual versioning problems.

Right answer is extending of cookbook metadata with something like or exactly Gemfile.

Today Bundler correcly handle various requests of application to install gem assorti.

Best wishes,

  Akzhan.
