I'm using Vagrant with Chef-solo to create a dev environment VM. Problem is, the Debian Chef package depends on a certain version of RubyGems to run, but I want the VM to have a much newer installed-from-source RubyGems version.
Is there a way in Vagrant to run some scripts/commands before Chef-solo is invoked and does its thing? That way I can switch the symlinks between the rubygems versions before and after Chef-solo has run.
The default nginx package creates a symlink named default in the sites-enabled dir, which points to a default config file in sites-available. I'm currently creating a package for an app that sits on top of Nginx, and I want to remove or move away the default symlink, and replace it with the config file from my package. Ideally, in the event that my package is removed, the original default symlink will be restored.
I've been reading the manpage and examples of dpkg-divert, but I don't quite see that it can do this. Is this achievable with dpkg-divert, or do I have to think of another way?
