I would suggest for you to package the Rails app with RPM and include the Ruby Gems in the vendor directory (see bundler and packing gems). That way you only depend on Ruby as a true dependency and can have up to date gems. Some of the Ruby Gems in EPEL are way out of date and you will run into issues with dependencies.

The best you could do for the community is to update the old Ruby Gems in EPEL. Then a lot more people get a better Ruby experience. Your customer would also get more general and better tested software.
