The next generation of effing package management on Chef.

This cookbook installs fpm to a given Ruby. It also provides some useful LWRPs to help build packages in a Chef friendly manner.

Builds a package using fpm. All options available via fpm --help are available as attributes within the LWRP. Dashes are simply replaced with underscores. For example, lets build a rails gem:

fpm_tng_package 'rails' do
  input_type 'gem'
  output_type 'deb'
  version '3.2.6'
  input_args 'rails'
end

Most times gems will requre dependencies. These can be autobuilt:

fpm_tng_gemdeps 'rails' do
  version '3.2.6'
end
