package_helper.rb

It will be nice if the hash containing urls for msi download can be moved to node attributes so properties can be override, and if a new .NET version come outside the only need will be to add the new version to the hash.

Regards.

Hello @nadobando
The goal of the package_helper is to have all the package defined outside attributes.
IMHO attributes describe the current state or the desired state of the node, it should not be used as a catalog of possible things.

However, it is currently possible to override the package_help Hash, or to add things in it with a ruby code, but I think it would be possible to allow extension via attributes.
