[chef] Re: How to obtain cookbook dependencies from metadata.rb?

[Torben Knerr < >]

Background:

First, I want to emulate Berkshelfs 'metadata' keyword inside a librarian Cheffile.

Then I want to override the location for some of the metadata-defined cookbook dependencies in the Cheffile (e.g. use github branch rather than community site)

Has someone done something like this already?

Ohai Chefs,

what's the easiest way to obtain the cookbook dependencies defined in metadata.rb (only direct dependencies are required)?

I'm not too firm with the chef internals yet, thus my first idea was to evaluate metadata.rb and recording the `depends` calls via `method_missing` - but this doesn't feels quite right... 

Thanks!
