[chef] Specify cookbook name in metadata.rb? (or: how to organize your cookbooks on github)?

[Torben Knerr < >]

Ohai Chefs!

Is it possible to specify the cookbook name in metadata.rb?

The trouble I'm having is that when I prefix my github cookbook repos with "cookbooks-" I have to make sure to clone them into the right directory, e.g. 'git clone https://github.com/.../cookbooks-apache2 apache2' so that I can use it as 'recipe[apache2]' and not 'recipe[cookbooks-apache2]'.

I didn't want to create a special github account for cookbooks only, still I want to be able to somehow group them.

Or any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Torben
