[chef] RE: Modifying node run list from within a recipe?

[Matt Ray < >]

Why not just key off an attribute to decide whether or not to do 
recipe_includes? Here's an example:
https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/java/blob/master/recipes/default.rb#L21

You could wrap that in any sort of conditional Ruby logic you want.

Thanks,

Subject: [chef] Modifying node run list from within a recipe?

Folks,

So, I've done some searching through the documents, and searching through the 
archives, and feeding various terms into Google, and I'm still coming up 
empty.

In short, I know that I could do a "knife node run_list add" from within a 
recipe, but I figure there has to be a better way to do this from within Ruby 
itself, and which doesn't involve dependency on a tool that shouldn't have to 
be installed on every single node that might run some random application.


I must be missing something obvious, but I don't know what it is.  Any and 
all assistance or pointers you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
