Does anyone have the url of a repository that provides Ruby-1.9.1+ for CentOS-5 and which they consider a trustworthy and reliable source?
I really do not what to have to build this software if I can avoid it.
1.9.1 isnt easy to shoehorn into parallen in the existing 1.8.5 space, specially if you want to use apps that run on either ( eg. puppet isnt 1.9.x friendly; and there are plenty others as well ).
I've gone down the route of building a ruby-ee and ruby-191 into /opt name space and using that ( and have the developers rvm their local instances, whatever OS they are on ).
My ruby-191 packaging includes a fair bit of local site only info ( eg. I upgrade gem to 1.3.6 with an update_system during buildtime ). If there is any interest in these rpms, I dont mind putting in a bit of time and cleaning it out.
Having said all this - Jeroen is very close to getting a good package set together ( look at: http://www.kanarip.com/custom/el5-ruby/ )
