[chef] Re: Re: Re: repo's usually don't have latest version

erm, now that I think of it, won't you have to compile mongodb and redis?  my ark resource won't handle that, look for the tar resource on github.com, that is probably what you need

great!

So this will somehow create the startup/shotdown scripts by itself or is that something you can to configure? (I can't see how it can just do this magically by itself).

Any example usages so I can see how works?

Since repo's don't have the latest (stable) version of many applications, is there an example of a chef cookbook that downloads the latest version and then sets up the startup scripts etc?

I'm specifically looking for redis and/or mongo but it doesn't really matter as I imagine the general pattern would be the same.

i.e. any example will do

(I will be running Ubuntu)
