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

Or option 4 - change your requirements so that the community cookbook fits.

The main reason for considering this is that cookbooks don't stand alone, but 
rather depend on each other. If you throw out one community cookbook, that 
may later prevent you from using a dozen other community cookbooks, too.

Especially if the cookbook in question is a very basic one, say the apache 
cookbook, creating your own will mean that you'll have to recreate quite a 
few other cookbooks.

There also is option 5. If the original cookbook does part of what you need, 
you may be able to create a wrapper cookbook that calls the community 
cookbook and then adds your specific features.

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.
