  Description     : Lint tool for Chef cookbooks

Foodcritic has two goals:

To make it easier to flag problems in your Chef cookbooks that will
cause Chef to blow up when you attempt to converge. This is about faster
feedback. If you automate checks for common problems you can save a lot
of time.

To encourage discussion within the Chef community on the more subjective
stuff - what does a good cookbook look like? Opscode have avoided being
overly prescriptive which by and large I think is a good thing. Having a
set of rules to base discussion on helps drive out what we as a
community think is good style.


I intend to package this within pkg-ruby-extras
