[chef] Re: Re: Re: Application cookbook -- using Mercurial SCM provider

[AJ Christensen < >]

There's no mercurial provider. I notice you're using BitBucket, I
understand they support Git as well. I'm not sure if the two are
compatible in terms of talking to a single repository.

You'll need to enhance Chef to be aware of Mercurial repositories (by
adding a Mercurial source code management provider), e.g. git [0],
subversion [1].

This could probably be added to the mercurial cookbook, which is
woefully lacking, the reason of which should be obvious (Git :P). [2]

Cheers,

AJ
