install_from chef cookbook

Installs/Configures install_from

Overview

Does the fetch-unpack-configure-build-install dance.

Given a project pig, with url http://apache.org/pig/pig-0.8.0.tar.gz, and the default :prefix_root of /usr/local, this provider will

fetch it to :package_file (/usr/local/src/pig-0.8.0.tar.gz)
unpack it to :install_dir (/usr/local/share/pig-0.8.0)
create a symlink for :home_dir (/usr/local/share/pig) pointing to :install_dir
configure the project
build the project
install the project
