Usage

emacs24::default

Just include emacs24 in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[emacs24]"
  ]
}

emacs24::compile

You can also use the emacs24::compile recipe instead the default.

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[emacs24::compile]"
  ]
}

This is equivalent to use emacs24::default with force attribute.
