[chef] Re: attributes in the metadata.rb file

[Ranjib Dey < >]

hi chris,

afaict, this has no impact on the recipe/role/node evaluation. its only for documentation purpose. except the `depends`,`name` and `version` directive  in metadata.rb, rest of the directives (like recipes, resources) are for documentation.

Can anyone shed light on how to use the attributes defined in a metadata.rb file please? How are they used?
