If you use a template inside of a definition, the system only searches for the source file inside of the cookbook where the template is being used, and not the cookbook where the template is defined

This is fixed in the opscode/master.

With template and remote_file resources, you can now specify a 'cookbook' attribute, which controls what cookbook we look for the source file in. This means that if you have two cookbooks, foo and bar, you could do:

  1. In foo
    template "/tmp/test.txt" do
    source "test.txt.erb"
    cookbook "bar"
    end
  1. In bar
    template "/tmp/test.txt" do
    source "test.txt.erb"
    end

And both would use cookbooks/bar/templates/default/test.txt.erb.

Note that you really should only do this if you are shipping a definition that has a default template. My suggestion would be to make it overridable as an attribute of the definition as well.
