[chef] Trying to leave some Ruby inside a finished installed Chef template.

[Darron Froese < >]

Have a rails database.yml installed via chef:

production:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: gitlabhq_production
  pool: 5
  username: <%= ENV['PROD_DB_USER'] %>
  password: <%= ENV['PROD_DB_PASSWORD'] %>

I want to to look like this when it's installed - but Chef is
rendering the ENV vars during the install.

I'd rather not have that done - just like to use the ENV variables the
whole time.

I'd really like chef to just install this - treat is as a text file
and just install. Is that possible?

Any tips? I've looked through the Chef and Erubis docs as well as done
lots of Googling.
