idea for resources in chef-stage

gistfile1.rb

stage "nokogiri_deps" do
  resources do
    include_recipe "yumrepo::epel"   # you can't do shit on rhel w/out epel repo first installed
    %w{ libxslt libxml2 libxml2-devel libxslt-devel }.each do |pkg|
      package pkg
    end
    # let's assume w/ chef-stage that chef-gem runs during the specified stage and not immediately as it does currently
    chef_gem "nokogiri"     
  end
  order 0  # run before main converge pass
end
