> I prefer to have ruby from distro or rvm. @oflebbe really thanks for your comments. We do need the ruby-related facilities such as ruby rumtime, rake, gem and bundle to build logstash. And for the Arm64 dependency issues, the ruby-2.4 is the latest version that works with logstash. But ruby version is 2.0 in Centos 7 and 2.3 in ubuntu16.04. When leveraging rvm to install ruby, rvm would pull the ruby binaries and spend less time than compiling ruby directly on x86_64. But on Arm64, no ruby binaries are available and rvm would also download source code and compile ruby. IMHO, our Bigtop should support different kind of distros and platforms(x86_64/arm64). If ruby-2.4 were downloaded and compiled directly , it could guarantee that ruby-related facilities would be properly installed on the various distros and platforms though it may cost extra time just on x86 when building bigtop_toolchain.
