[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: moneta breaking all deployments

Shortest answer: use bundler.

Long answer: repackage chef to include all its dependencies.

Both solutions are not trivial and frequently not worth it.

Josh and co - thanks for all the tips!

I upgraded each dependency to a particular version of postgres (2.1.0) and am no longer specifying the distribution - works perfectly!

How do I future proof myself?  I don't want to get sidelined in the future because some unrelated gem changes (and borks all my bootstrapping)?
