[chef] Re: Re: Bulk expansion of templates

Sure - 

So because of the way we structure our deployable units (zip files) we wind up supplying templates inside there (maven injects the erb syntax into these files).

The structure looks like this:

foo
|_bin
|_conf
|_templates
   |_bin
   |_conf

Essentially, I want to take any of the directories inside templates, and process the files inside to identical directories one higher.

I don't want to have a hard coded list of templates anywhere.

If this were ant or maven or something, I'd just use something like templates/**.

Does this help explain a bit more?  I'm not sure how awesome my ASCII art will look like once posted....

I'm actually confused by the question. Can you explain it again, perhaps a
bit differently, perhaps with a more explicit example of your intent?
