Hello

I’m informally polling the community here. I’ve posted a gist with example
json data for node attributes for a thing I want to do in the pantry
cookbook0. Please reply to this mail, or post a comment on the gist which
your preference is. Thank you.

Which of these do you prefer for node attributes? These would get translated behind the scenes to the appropriate attributes on the node object in the recipes. The idea is that each of these is an array that gets iterated over to install some list of packages etc.

The none option means there would be no additional specific attributes in pantry, users would just have to know them.

## Mac OS X

* `packages` would be `node['homebrew']['formulas']`. 
* `casks` would be `node['homebrew']['casks']`. 
* `taps` would be `node['homebrew']['taps']`. (new feature in a [PR](https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/homebrew/pull/67/files))

Hi - can I get a sense of how many people are using pantry? I want to maintain / be able to recreate a seldom used windows-under-OS X in vagrant set up.

Thanks, Martin
