[chef] Re: Re: Recipe to fetch moar cookbooks

[anatoly techtonik < >]

I just want to bootstrap a single machine (my workstation). Do I
really need a server for that? I've already tried two solutions and
came to the conclusion that it is plain impossible within a single
reсipe to install git, do a cookbook checkout if its not present and
then execute a recipe from this cookbook.

If server has this functionality then client should have some stub
that executed when a cookbook is not found to fix that and then
resumes execution. Is it possible to plug into this stub with
chef-solo?
