For RHEL, it's available as a beta child channel via RHN. There's also an older repo up here from when it was being developed that other EL users could try: https://fedorahosted.org/SoftwareCollections/ We're using the ruby193 SCL for Foreman actually (packages on http://yum.theforeman.org/), which has worked pretty well. The advantage is unlike replacing the distro packages (as was done with EL5 and 1.8.7), you don't break distro support or ABI/API compatibility for other packages depending on Ruby. Though a downside for some users may be additional packages on their base OS install. Unlike with Foreman's use where it's just one central host, this would be for every host running an agent. However I don't see that this has much to do with the original bug, which was more luck than design that it was fixed in 1.9.3... it's not worth investigating 1.9.3 support via packages just to provide a workaround for that issue! Charlie's last response is spot on. -- Dominic Cleal Red Hat Engineering -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
