[chef] Re: ssh supports in remote_file?

[AJ Christensen < >]

I'd highly recommend against putting mongodb binaries into cookbooks.
Or anywhere near infrastructure :>

remote_file doesn't (currently?) support ssh (by which I guess you mean 
'scp'?)

You could easily make your own scp_remote_file provider that uses
remote_file semantics to secure copy or maybe rsync a directory
structure down. I wonder if there is one available. Alternatively,
there are many tried-and-true protocols for sharing file systems (nfs,
smb, ..) across your machines which you could configure with Chef.
