[chef] Re: RE: Re: berkshelf gem listed as a requirement in cookbook gemfile

[Tensibai Zhaoying < >]

Why the hell would you do a bundle install on a node ? 

Berkshelf is of use on your workstation to create a pack of cookbooks with 
correct versions to distribute as tarball or to upload to chef-server.

If your day to day workstation is a lightweight Vm you recreate often, 
include chef-dk or do bundle install in the source template box...

I don't see any use case where you would do a bundle install from a cookbook 
dir within a chef run, you should install needed gems for a recipe with 
chef-gem resource if you need it inside your recipes.

Please enlight me if I missed your point...
