[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sinfomicien/mysql2_chef_gem.png)](https://travis-ci.org/sinfomicien/mysql2_chef_gem)

mysql2_chef_gem is a library cookbook that provides an LWRP for use

`mysql2_chef_gem` that eases the installation process, collecting the
prerequisites and side-stepping the compilation phase arms race.
