Despite your desire for an rpm only solution, I believe that the
best way to handle Passenger remains RubyGems. I have installed
Enterprise Ruby and Passenger, but as far as I can recall, this
still required building from source and using RubyGems to update the
passenger gem.
Even if an rpm solution was available, I do not consider this the
preferred way to go when supporting a Ruby installation dependent
upon gems. Gems are the canonical method of maintaining Ruby
library extensions and it seems self-defeating to require further
re-packaging.
Sincerely,
