Affected mCollective version:
When installing mcollective via operating system packages, the ruby library is
only available to clients using the system ruby.
It should be possible to write client applications using an alternative ruby,
while still sharing the configuration and plugins from the system mcollective
install.
Discussion on #mcollective:
< zts> I'm currently installing mcollective using the RPMs, which was cool
until I started needing to write clients that run under a different ruby to the
system one
< zts> it feels like what I want is the mcollective client bits as a gem
that I can install into different rubies, but I'm prepared to hear that I'm
wrong
< zts> what's the best approach to dealing with this requirement?
< Volcane> could potentially do the client stuff as a gem - but not
appropriate for the server bits
< Volcane> still leaves the problem of distributing your applications,
security plugins etc
< Volcane> since those cant really go into gems easily I'd think
< zts> yeah, I'm happy managing configurations and plugins at the system
level, and the behaviour I'd want is for all clients to share the same
configuration, plugins etc
< Volcane> nods
< Volcane> yeah a gem for the client isnt a bad idea
< chrisa2> a client gem would be very useful where you're embedding a
client into an app that uses bundler
< chrisa2> because you can express the dependency in the usual way, rather
than relying on a system mcollective, or just vendoring the stuff in the app
< Volcane> make a feature request pls
< Volcane> might be awkward matching up gem versions and plugins etc but i
guess everything has some cost
