[chef] Re: Re: Re: lwrp based on the omnibus configuration DSL ?

Not what you were asking about, but why don't you use omnibus to build these packages then just install them via chef-client (remote_file + gdebi/yum)?  Maybe with some tooling around omnibus-ruby and vagrant and you could have a CI pipeline for them as well.

It feels "odd" to be compiling a bunch of stuff at deployment time. Yes, I admit to doing it, but I've never been happy doing it.  

Shamelss plug: https://github.com/bakins/omnibus-nginx - patches welcome. A "directory" of omnibus projects would be helpful to avoid duplicated effort, or at least to be used as examples.
