Hi Florian, A coworker and I wrote this cookbook months ago and needed functionality in the 5.x collectd branch that wasn't available in the distributions usual 4.x collectd branch. Primarily we were doing this to get the included graphite plugin. After reading through this discussion and taking a look through the code I'm pretty sure the bug isn't in my code though =) I think this is a problem in the 'ark' cookbook, which is what handles the actually download/compile/install portion of the install. So I propose the following to hopefully resolve this issue: * I'll mangle the included url attribute so out of the box _install_from_source.rb doesn't work. * Include a note in the README.md about polite mirroring and the possibility of abusing collectd.org. * Get issues filed about ark, I've already forked and am working on a fix so hopefully we will have this resolved by the end of the weekend. * I'll also setup an issue on the chef-collectd issue tracker to track the completeness of each of these resoltions and will update this thread with the issue url shortly. Of course this is software we're talking about and we know how people handle software updates (or rather how they don't) so for now its probably prudent to leave your redirect up. But we might want to update ContactMe.chef to include some details about local mirrors and how to update the attribute appropriately (I can assist with this of course). I could also post a document covering these things to the chef-collectd github and you could redirect to that. Lets discuss. I'm sorry for causing this problem, so please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Feel free to contact me here, and I'm always on freenode as 'miah' and on twitter as @miah_ Thanks -Miah
