[chef] Choosing resource providers

[Claus Divossen < >]

Hello!

Is there a way to configure the provider for a resource (i.e. the
package resource) for a whole node or at least the whole recipe? The
provider can be choosen for each resource individually, but I would like
to configure this only once so i don't have to repeat myself again and
again. 

Regards,
  Claus
