Zabbix agent cookbook for Chef

[BillWarner]

I have been working on this for quite some time and would like to see if there is anyone interested in helping out expand with testing, re-factoring and adding features.

I currently use it for deploying to a production environment on Ubuntu 14.04.

I'm always curious why people want to install some software (specially from source code) over things like chef if for example something like zabbix agent can be installed as package using package manager where such package should be part of install profile.
Setup .. it is another part of the story but install??
IMO it must be result of some kind misunderstanding for what are package managers and packages.

I'm not 100% sure why either. I added it to the cookbook as an option mostly for completeness and testing. I personally only use the package install method with chef.
