I want to move from running puppet under it's own web brick server, to using passenger.
I'd like to get an idea of how folk are running passenger? Ideally I'd like to keep everything rpm based, so would need ruby enterprise rpms, and then the mod_rails / passenger plugin?
How are you folk doing it?
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.
