Cross-cookbook library calls

Can you call a library defined in cookbook A from a recipe in cookbook B?

-J

Yes, just make sure you set A as a dependency to B in the metadata file so it will get transferred correctly.

Cool. Thank you. In the Libraries example when the library is named
Chef::Recipe::ISP, the recipe only needs to refer to ISP. Is this
still true if you're calling a library in another cookbook or is there
additional namespace references needed?

I would put the library into it's own namespace entirely, not within
the Chef namespace - just for safeties sake.
