Description

I'm well aware that this cookbook hasn't been touched in years, but now that nginx is being replaced with chef_nginx, it's suddenly becoming a problem (for me at least).

At least one upstream cookbook ( sous-chefs/nagios#525 ) can be broken by this, as nginx and chef_nginx disagree about dependency versions.

Is it possible to do a new version of this which depends on chef_nginx? Is a maintainer still watching this repo?
Happy to do a pull request if necessary; changes would be minimal.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the cookbook's dependency declaration and check how the current nginx dependency is specified; confirm the replacement matches the expected cookbook and version constraints. Done means the dependency uses chef_nginx and the cookbook metadata remains valid.
