12.5 style custom resources

This is by far the most recommended way of writing resources for all users. There are two gotchas which we're working through:

For helper functions that you used to write in your provider code or used to mixin to your provider code, you have to use an action_class do ... end block.

If you want to check whether a node run_list includes a specific role (upon expansion), then you could use role? method on the Node object:

node.role?('name')

Alternatively, you can see whether either would work for you:

node.roles.include?('name')

node.run_list?('role[name]')

ChefDK, Test Kitchen Driven NTP Cookbook

This gist uses TK+Berkshelf to drive creating a vagrant virts and converging a simple recipe to install and configure NTPd. This is a simple cookbook that has one recipe, one template (for ntp.conf) and one attribute file. It works on Ubuntu 12.04 and CentOS 6.4 (and derviatives) and the attribute file is used to support both distros.

This should work on Mac (where I developed it) and any chef-supported Linux that you can get Vagrant onto (Ubuntu/CentOS).

Because I use ChefDK and Test Kitchen, I can largely ignore setting up Vagrant and Berkshelf and can get right to work on writing recipe code.

	# How to install `ipkg` on a Synology DS214

	After a couple of days of trying to get `ipkg` woking on my DS214 I found [this article](https://github.com/trepmag/ds213j-optware-bootstrap) by [trepmag](https://github.com/trepmag). It is written for the DS213j, but it’s been working for me and [others](https://github.com/alberthild) for the DS214 too.

	I have done some minor changed to clarify some things, but if you are a Linux guy (unlike me) my changes might be of no use to you.
