Chef introduced the Omnibus installer last year, which improves things quite
drastically on that score. The necessary chef-client and ruby environment
gets installed nicely self-contained in /opt.
I believe, based on developer conversations on twitter, that Puppet is
working on similar right now. Its certainly made life easier here for
deployments of chef to our boxes.
This is actually one of the selling points of the enterprise offering from
Puppet. Everything (puppet, hiera, puppetdb, mcollective, ruby, etc.) is all
bundled into a single installer, and works out of the box.
