[chef] Environments

[Douglas Garstang < >]

We put every cookbook in its own git repo. Is there any way to put environment data, related to just that cookbook actually IN the cookbook, rather than a common environments directory?

I ask this because it seems strange to me that cookbooks are supposed to be a unit of software, and yet environment data, related to the cookbook has to be put into a common location. Seems strange. You can get around this with role attributes by creating wrapper cookbooks, but .... for environments?
