[chef] Re: Wrapper cookbook requires template of wrapped cookbook

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

I would interpret this as a bug in the wrapped cookbook's provider.
Probably worth a ticket at tickets.opscode.com.

It's best practice for providers to hardcode the "cookbook" attribute
in the inline "template" resource, otherwise when people try to wrap
that cookbook, the cookbook that's searched is the caller's rather
than the callee's.
