[chef] Re: What to do if community cookbooks not suitable. What are my options?

[Josiah Kiehl < >]

First I evaluate whether using the community cookbook is close enough to save me effort. If so, I fork the cookbook, make my edits and contribute a patch back to the maintainer. If the maintainer is no longer active, I maintain my fork.  If the cookbook is completely off, I'll start from scratch and write my own cookbook.

Now I have the following paths:

1. Write you full
2. Write you full based on non suitable community cookbook
3. Using chef-edit

May be are any other ways that I do not know yet?

Thank you.
