Pains me to say this but Gems are designed to solve these problems cos you can have many versions on a machine and each project can require the version they wish. I'd favor some way to vendor them into our projects so we can maintain the one we care about internally to each project and upgrade when we're ready. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
