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, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
