Yup - that was it. Thanks Thom.

Shame the logging doesn't include the default part of the path so you know you've fallen through the conditions and not matched. ie

ERROR: Re-raising exception: Chef::Exceptions::FileNotFound - cookbook custom-jetty does not contain file files/default/linux-i686/libblah.so

Then you'd have a clue. RTFM though, fair enough.

Thanks Thom, I'll check it out. It's somewhat misleading then that the logging ties up.

Hi,
while I hate to unload a wiki link on you,
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Files pretty much tells you all
you need to know. :)
(you need to put the files in files/default, not files)
