[chef] Re: sourcing ingredients from your local store for use within your recipes

[Chris McClimans < >]

I haven't rewritten uscan in ruby, and they are all still separate
knife plugins, but I updated the easybake ingredients  with some
common external dependencies for chef/devops work. Next is to put
together a devops-workstation cookbook that supports OSX, Windows, and
Ubuntu hosts with 'Vagrant+Windows+Ubuntu' and ability to build
baseboxes based on pulling these files from the file_cache_path. If we
run chef-solo from a USB stick, it could feasibly not require a
network connection. If we booted the USB stick as an automated OS
installer (that included a chef-solo run at the end), it would deploy
an devops workstation on hardware with all of the below:

Any blobs people use that I might be missing here?
