You will probably have to write up a HWRP to get the kind of lazy evaluation you want

Hi all,

In a LRWP resource definition (the file in ./resources), is it possible to do something like :
actions :install
default_action :install
attribute :name, :kind_of => String, :name_attribute => true
attribute :repository, :kind_of => String, :default => node[:name]['repository']

LWRPs are basically a wrapper around `class_eval`, so for most cases you can just add a little more traditional ruby method definition where you need it.

You only *have to* use HWRPs if you need full control of the Class name or its superclass.
