Chef::Resource::Deploy#symlinks

A Hash of shared/dir/path => release/dir/path. This attribute determines
which files and dirs in the shared directory get symlinked to the current
release directory, and where they go. If you have a directory
$shared/pids that you would like to symlink as $current_release/tmp/pids
you specify it as "pids" => "tmp/pids"
Default {"system" => "public/system", "pids" => "tmp/pids", "log" => "log"}
