[chef] Re: Consistency for Chef Client installation methods

[Jesse Nelson < >]

If you don't like the default behavior simply make your own template
and use that.

Templates go into .chef/bootstrap/template.erb  (in your repo or in
~/.chef)  use -d name to use your template or use --template-file if
you want to put them someplace else. Use the the builtin templates
from chef source as examples:
https://github.com/opscode/chef/tree/master/chef/lib/chef/knife/bootstrap

IMO the current behavior of default templates (gem install) is what
people expect. Changing this now would probably cause some people
serious pain. Especially considering how easy it is to customize to
your needs.
