I wrote the local_file resource this morning. Haven't written unit tests yet as I still haven't learned the test system, but if this looks good I can move on to that tomorrow.

I'll get started on a local_file resource and provider, which will steal functionality from cookbook_file. Then I will modify cookbook_file to be extending local_file to remove the reuse.

Okay, so what would you like to see? FileCopy provider for local file operations, and CookbookFile extends FileCopy? Where to put Bryan's move?

Happy to go about this differently, but a local option to cookbookfile seems backwards

I agree a local option to cookbook file isn't the right way to go. My favored options are either a file_copy resource and provider, or a local option to remote file.
