[chef] Spiceweasel 2.0

[Matt Ray < >]

Just wanted to let folks know that Spiceweasel 2.0 is now available. For 
those of you who may be unfamiliar, Spiceweasel generates knife commands from 
a simple JSON or YAML manifest. It also now has the ability to execute that 
manifest for you and to extract a manifest from an existing Chef repo. For 
more info:
https://github.com/mattray/spiceweasel ;

Why would you want this? It allows you to track all of your cookbooks, roles, 
environments, data bags and nodes in a file that may be managed with version 
control so you can recreate and share the infrastructure described by the 
repo. 

The updates to the manifest syntax are here:

and the detailed changelog is here:
