[chef] Moving role attributes into cookbooks

[Douglas Garstang < >]

Doing what I read to be a best practice, I just took a bunch of roles that defined set attributes for specific data centers, and moved them into cookbooks, one per location, ie:

bc-location-u1

bc-location.eu1

and so on. I just occurred to me that if I do this, then all cookbooks will need to depend (in the metadata.rb) file on ALL of these location based cookbooks.

is this correct? What am I missing?
