[chef] Re: Berkshelf tossing "invalid ruby files" error on a cookbook?

[Joshua Timberman < >]

I've converted the hash syntax to the "normal" style.

https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/nagios/commit/ea7f1fe0f9d871fe227518a58ca282730ae400b1

Sorry about that, I try to catch this because I personally don't like that 
style. It breaks compatibility for no real reason. :-)
