Hi Kevin,

Looks like that cookbook only installs from packages, per here [1].

There's an open ticket regarding local packages here [2].

You might want to expand on that, or potentially add another ticket for source install and see about writing some conditional logic.

Hi -

I didn't see any attributes that would use a source install via a tarball.

Could you please tell me if it's possible to set an attribute (example: tomcat.url) to a tarball URL?

Thanks,

Kevin
