I find myself needing a newer Ruby than is in the distro. I'm going to need to install this on a large number of machines, so packaging it would be ideal.

REE seems the obvious candidate - unless other folk can recommend an alternative.

In the past I believe I used srpms from Fedora. I haven't had to use Ruby in almost two years now (yay), so I'm not sure if it still holds true now. I recall some issue with the latest Fedora where the rpm file format changed or compression changed or something making it slightly incompatible with CentOS, though not difficult to work around.

I also seek out srpms from OpenSUSE as well on occasion if I can't find them elsewhere, I think my nagios 3 SRPMs are from OpenSUSE
