[chef] Re: Issues with Template Files after upgrading to Chef 10.6

[Zuhaib Siddique < >]

So I found the issue, it was in the past we abused the "only_if" statements 
for templates and it seems this was fine in 10.4 but 10.6 got more strict 
with Templates.  So after some refactoring things are more happy.  Its a bit 
annoying that things change on you jut by an upgrade but hey…
