Will require using the RPM to install heka.

It would be cool to add some travis tests.

Initial load of cookbook fails, subsequent runs succeed.

Add a conditional to check if Heka is already installed, and don't download the package if it is.

The error

resource file[/etc/consul.d/service-consul.json] is configured to notify resource service[consul] with action reload, but service[consul] cannot be found in the resource collection. file[/etc/consul.d/service-consul.json] is defined in /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/consul/providers/service_def.rb:27:in `block (2 levels) in class_from_file'

My code:

node['sensiolabs_consul']['services'].each do |name, definition|
    consul_service_def name do
        id definition['id'] unless definition['id'].nil?
        port definition['port'] unless definition['port'].nil?
        tags definition['tags'] unless definition['tags'].nil?
        check definition['check'] unless definition['check'].nil?
    end
end

I used init for service configuration

Increment default install version to 0.8 -- and test.

Heka 0.5.2 is out:

https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/blob/v0.5.2/CHANGES.txt

Update the cookbook to install the new version.

Add a way for this cookbook to update a version of heka on an already existing deploy.

The version can be obtained via a package manager, or via "hekad -version" and then compared to what is in default['heka']['download']['version'] -- if the version installed is older than the one specified in the cookbook, then we should download and update heka.
